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 custom configuration.

       The publish command is used internally by parts of the containerd runtime to publish events.  It  is  not
       meant to be used as a standalone utility.
