<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>lxc-create</command> creates a system object where is
stored the configuration informations and where can be stored
user information. The identifier <replaceable>name</replaceable>
is used to specify the container to be used with the different
lxc commands.
</para>
<para>
The object is a directory created in <filename>@LXCPATH@</filename>
and identified by its name.
</para>
<para>
The object is the definition of the different resources an
application can use or can see. The more the configuration file
contains informations, the more the container is isolated and
the more the application is jailed.
</para>
<para>
If the configuration file <replaceable>config_file</replaceable>
is not specified, the container will be created with the default
isolation: processes, sysv ipc and mount points.
