or maybe i just glazed it too quickly :-)

i'm not sure off-hand as i haven't actually used LXC in some time, but
everything useful will be in the cgroup hierarchy; /proc is not
containerized, AFAIK... indefinitely.  if the cgroup you've mounted
includes all of the `modules` (i forget the actual term), you will
have many pseudo files to use, and one or a combination of them likely
has the information you seek.

sorry i can't be more specific, but everything you can use will be in
cgroup; you'll have to forget about /proc :-( though you may also
consider putting each process into it's own cgroup... just depends of
whether that makes sense in you're use case.
