runc-create - create a container

runc create [option ...] container-id

The create command creates an instance of a container from a bundle. The bundle is a directory with a specification file named config.json, and a root filesystem.

Path to the root of the bundle directory. Default is current directory.

Path to an AF_UNIX socket which will receive a file descriptor referencing the master end of the console's pseudoterminal. See docs/terminals ⟨https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/master/docs/terminals.md⟩.

Specify the file to write the initial container process' PID to.

Do not use pivot root to jail process inside rootfs. This should not be used except in exceptional circumstances, and may be unsafe from the security standpoint.

Do not create a new session keyring for the container. This will cause the container to inherit the calling processes session key.

Pass N additional file descriptors to the container (stdio + $LISTEN_FDS + N in total). Default is 0.
