60 | <para> | |
61 | <command>lxc-create</command> creates a system object where is | |

62 | stored the configuration informations and where can be stored |
63 | user information. The identifier <replaceable>name</replaceable> | |
64 | is used to specify the container to be used with the different | |
65 | lxc commands. | |

71 | <para> | |
becc0400 | 72 | The object is the definition of the different resources an |

74 | contains informations, the more the container is isolated and | |
75 | the more the application is jailed. | |

78 | <para> | |
79 | If the configuration file <replaceable>config_file</replaceable> | |
