       cgset - set the parameters of given cgroup(s)

SYNOPSIS

       cgset [-b] [-r <name=value>] <cgroup_path> ...
       cgset [-b] --copy-from <source_cgroup_path> <cgroup_path> ...

DESCRIPTION

       Set the parameters of input cgroups.

       <path> is the name of the cgroup which should be changed.  This parameter can be used multiple times.

       -b     ignores the default systemd delegated hierarchy path and constructs the path of the control groups
              relative to the cgroup root hierarchy.

       -r <name=value>
              defines  the  name  of  the  file to set and the value which should be written to that file.  This
              parameter can be used multiple times.

       --copy-from <source_cgroup_path>
              defines the name of the cgroup whose parameters will be copied to the input cgroup.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       CGROUP_LOGLEVEL
              controls verbosity of the tool. Allowed values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING or ERROR.
