DESCRIPTION

15       containerd is a high performance container runtime whose daemon can  be
16       started  by using this command. If none of the config, publish, or help
17       commands are specified the default action of the containerd command  is
18       to start the containerd daemon in the foreground.
19
20
21       A  default  configuration is used if no TOML configuration is specified
22       or located at the default file location. The containerd config  command
23       can  be  used to generate the default configuration for containerd. The
24       output of that command can be used and modified as necessary as a  cus‐
25       tom configuration.
26
27
28       The  publish command is used internally by parts of the containerd run‐
29       time to publish events. It is not meant to  be  used  as  a  standalone
30       utility.
