NAME

       cgcreate - create new cgroup(s)

SYNOPSIS

       cgcreate [-h] [-t <tuid>:<tgid>] [-a <agid>:<auid>] [-f mode] [-d mode] [-s mode] -g <controllers>:<path>
       [-g ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The command creates new cgroup(s) defined by the options -g.

       -a <agid>:<auid>
              defines the name of the user and the group which own the  rest  of  the  defined  control  group’s
              files.  These  users  are  allowed  to set subsystem parameters and create subgroups.  The default
              value is the same as has the parent cgroup.

       -d, --dperm=mode
              sets the permissions of a control groups directory.  The permissions  needs  to  be  specified  as
              octal numbers e.g.  -d 775.

       -f, --fperm=mode
              sets  the  permissions of the control groups parameters.  The permissions needs to be specified as
              octal numbers e.g.  -f 775.   The  value  is  not  used  as  given  because  the  current  owner's
              permissions  are  used  as  an  umask  (so 777 will set group and others permissions to the owners
              permissions).

       -g <controllers>:<path>
              defines control groups to be added.  controllers is a list of controllers and path is the relative
              path to control groups in the given controllers list. This option can be specified multiple times.

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -s, --tperm=mode
              sets  the  permissions  of the control group tasks file.  The permissions needs to be specified as
              octal numbers e.g.  -s 775.   The  value  is  not  used  as  given  because  the  current  owner's
              permissions  are  used  as  an  umask  (so 777 will set group and others permissions to the owners
              permissions).

       -t <tuid>:<tgid>
              defines the name of the user and the group, which owns tasks file of the  defined  control  group.
              I.e.  this user and members of this group have write access to the file.  The default value is the
              same as has the parent cgroup.
