containerd(1) General Commands Manual containerd(1)
SYNOPSIS
containerd [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]
DESCRIPTION
containerd is a high performance container runtime whose daemon can be
started by using this command. If none of the config, publish, or help
commands are specified the default action of the containerd command is
to start the containerd daemon in the foreground.
A default configuration is used if no TOML configuration is specified
or located at the default file location. The containerd config command
can be used to generate the default configuration for containerd. The
output of that command can be used and modified as necessary as a cus-
tom configuration.
The publish command is used internally by parts of the containerd run-
time to publish events. It is not meant to be used as a standalone
utility.
