Comment 3 for bug 1424253

Actually that's not the same at all, because $cgroup != $lxc_name . Your workaround is absolutely user UNfriendly, i.e. still hard to read and for casual users inconvinient, because one needs supply all that many format options ...

Anyway, I agree, that these utils should support such things out of the box, but 'til than, it remains a distribution thing.
