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.
