## NAME
podman\-pod\-top - Display the running processes of containers in a pod

## SYNOPSIS
**podman pod top** [*options*] *pod* [*format-descriptors*]

## DESCRIPTION
Display the running processes of containers in a pod. The *format-descriptors* are ps (1) compatible AIX format
descriptors but extended to print additional information, such as the seccomp mode or the effective capabilities
of a given process. The descriptors can either be passed as separate arguments or as a single comma-separated argument.

## OPTIONS

#### **--help**, **-h**

  Print usage statement

@@option latest

## FORMAT DESCRIPTORS

For a full list of available descriptors, see podman-top(1)

## EXAMPLES

Print top data for the specified pod.
By default, `podman-pod-top` prints data similar to `ps -ef`:
```
$ podman pod top b031293491cc
USER   PID   PPID   %CPU    ELAPSED             TTY   TIME   COMMAND
root   1     0      0.000   2h5m38.737137571s   ?     0s     top
root   8     0      0.000   2h5m15.737228361s   ?     0s     top
```

The output can be controlled by specifying format descriptors as arguments after the pod.

Print the pod top data fields pid,seccomp, args and %C on the latest pod created. (This -l option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
```
$ podman pod top -l pid seccomp args %C
PID   SECCOMP   COMMAND   %CPU
1     filter    top       0.000
1     filter    /bin/sh   0.000
```
