docker_top
Read-only
List processes running inside a Docker container from the host without executing commands or opening a TTY, so you can inspect container activity safely.
Instructions
List the processes running inside a Docker container, read from the host. Nothing runs in the container: no exec, no TTY. Each process's command is the kernel's name for it (ps comm, at most 15 characters), never read from its command line, because a token passed on a command line would otherwise be in the result
