DESCRIPTION

14       ctr  is  an unsupported debug and administrative client for interacting
15       with the containerd daemon. Because it is  unsupported,  the  commands,
16       options,  and operation are not guaranteed to be backward compatible or
17       stable from release to release of the containerd project.
