Name

delegate-control-group-to — delegate control over the process current control group to an(other) account

Synopsis

delegate-control-group-to {owner}

Description

delegate-control-group-to delegates control over the current process' single (relevant) control group to owner. Generally this requires superuser permissions.

On platforms where /proc/self/cgroup does not exist, this command is a no-op for script compatibility. Otherwise, that file is searched for a control group record with a blank controller field or (failing that) with a name=systemd controller field.

If a record of the former type is found, version 2 control groups are assumed with the single control group hierarchy rooted at /sys/fs/cgroup. If a record of the latter type is found, version 1 control groups are assumed with the relevant control group hierarchy (the only one that is affected by the command) rooted at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd.
