Description
 | 
| Primary parameters
 | 
| numproc | 
Maximum number of processes and kernel-level threads allowed for this container.
 | 
| numtcpsock | 
Maximum number of TCP sockets.
 | 
| numothersock | 
Maximum number of non-TCP sockets (local sockets, UDP and other types of sockets).
 | 
| vmguarpages | 
Memory allocation guarantee.
 | 
| Secondary parameters
 | 
| kmemsize | 
Size of unswappable kernel memory, allocated allocated for processes in this container.
 | 
| tcpsndbuf | 
Total size of buffers used to send data over TCP network connections.
 | 
| tcprcvbuf | 
Total size of buffers used to temporary store the data coming from TCP network connections.
 | 
| othersockbuf | 
Total size of UNIX-domain socket buffers, UDP and other datagram protocol send buffers.
 | 
| dgramrcvbuf | 
Receive buffers of UDP and other datagram protocols.
 | 
| oomguarpages | 
The guaranteed amount of memory for the case the memory is “over-booked” (out-of-memory kill guarantee).
 | 
| privvmpages | 
Memory allocation limit, in pages.
 | 
| Auxiliary parameters
 | 
| lockedpages | 
Process pages not allowed to be swapped out (pages locked by mlock(2)).
 | 
| shmpages | 
Total size of shared memory (IPC, shared anonymous mappings and tmpfs objects), in pages.
 | 
| physpages | 
Total number of RAM pages used by processes.
 | 
| numfile | 
Number of open files.
 | 
| numflock | 
Number of file locks.
 | 
| numpty | 
Number of pseudo-terminals.
 | 
| numsiginfo | 
Number of siginfo structures.
 | 
| dcachesize | 
Total size of dentry and inode structures locked in memory.
 | 
| numiptent | 
Number of NETFILTER (IP packet filtering) entries.
 | 
| swappages | 
Amount of swap space to show in container.
