bash check if inside lxc

To check if a script is running inside an LXC container in the C programming language, you can use the lxc_container_running function from the LXC library. Here are the steps to perform this check:

1. Include the necessary header file: #include <lxc/lxccontainer.h>

2. Declare a variable to hold the LXC container object: struct lxc_container *container;

3. Initialize the container object by calling the lxc_container_new function: container = lxc_container_new(NULL, NULL);

4. Check if the container is running by calling the lxc_container_running function with the container object as a parameter: int isRunning = lxc_container_running(container);

5. Check the value of the isRunning variable. If it is non-zero, it means the script is running inside an LXC container. Otherwise, it is running outside the container.

6. Cleanup by freeing the container object using the lxc_container_put function: lxc_container_put(container);

That's it! By following these steps, you can check if a script is running inside an LXC container in the C programming language.
