NAME

       lxc-create - mock lxc-create command used by LAVA

SUMMARY

       Mocks  lxc-create  command used by Linaro Automated Validation Architecture (LAVA). LXC is
       Linux  Containers  userspace  tools.  lxc-create  does  not  use  LXC.  It  is   part   of
       lava-lxc-mocker, which mocks some of the LXC commands used by LAVA.

SYNOPSIS

       lxc-create {-n name} [-q] [-- --packages]

OPTIONS

          -n NAME
                 Use   container   identifier   NAME.  The  container  identifier  format  is  an
                 alphanumeric string.  It  creates  a  directory  /var/lib/lxc/NAME  and  creates
                 symbolic link /var/lib/lxc/NAME/rootfs with target as / (the root)

       optional argument:

              -q     quite or mute on

              -- --packages=PACKAGE_NAME1,PACKAGE_NAME2,...
                     List  of  packages  to  install.  Comma separated, without space. Note: this
                     option is prefixed by '-- '

       lxc-create accepts the above options. Any other option specified  other  than  the  above,
       will be ignored.

EXAMPLES

       To create a mock container and install packages, use
              lxc-create    -q   -t   debian   -n   container   --   --release   sid   --packages
              systemd,systemd-sysv

NOTE

       The commands provided by lava-lxc-mocker are  simple  shell  scripts  that  use  the  same
       command  names  mocking  some  LXC commands and does not use LXC. lava-lxc-mocker commands
       still need to be executed in the same sequence as a typical LXC operation. In  particular,
       once  a  container  has been created, that container needs to be destroyed to clean up the
       symlinks and other artifacts.
