DESCRIPTION

21       The create command creates an instance of a container for a bundle. The
22       bundle is a directory with a specification file named "config.json" and
23       a root filesystem.
24
25
26       The  specification  file includes an args parameter. The args parameter
27       is used to specify command(s)  that  get  run  when  the  container  is
28       started.  To change the command(s) that get executed on start, edit the
29       args parameter of the spec. See "runc spec --help"  for  more  explana‐
30       tion.

OPTIONS

35              --bundle value, -b value  path to the root of the bundle directory, defaults to the current directory
36              --console-socket value    path to an AF_UNIX socket which will receive a file descriptor referencing the master end of the console's pseudoterminal
37              --pid-file value          specify the file to write the process id to
38              --no-pivot                do not use pivot root to jail process inside rootfs.  This should be used whenever the rootfs is on top of a ramdisk
39              --no-new-keyring          do not create a new session keyring for the container.  This will cause the container to inherit the calling processes session key
