[lxc-users] lxc file "only allowed for containers that are currently running"?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

According to fine manual[1], lxc file "is only allowed for containers 
that are currently running".

I've tried doing both push and pull operations on a container in STOPPED 
state, and it worked, i.e.:

lxc file pull stopped-container/etc/services .
lxc file push services stopped-container/etc/services


So either documentation is outdated, and lxc push/pull is allowed for 
containers in any state (or at least RUNNING and STOPPED) or the 
functionality will be removed.
Which one is true? Being able to push/pull the files is quite 
convenient.


I'm using:

lxd-client 0.27-0ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 amd64
