CRATE(5)		      File Formats Manual		      CRATE(5)

NAME
       crate --	containerizer for FreeBSD

SYNOPSIS
       crate crate-specification.yml
	     ]
       crate crate-file.crate
	     ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  crate  utility  is	a containerizer	program	that is	able to	create
       containers from container definition files, and then run	containers  as
       processes  that	have  no  dependencies besides system functions	in the
       kernel.

   Mechanism of	action
       crate uses FreeBSD jails	to run	containerized  applications.  It  also
       uses  ipfw(8)-based  firewall rules to route network traffic in and out
       of containers.

   Invocation
       There are two basic operations that crate  supports:  create  and  run.
       When crate is invoked with a crate definition file (having the .yml ex-
       tension),  this	triggers the create mode. When crate is	invoked	with a
       crate file (having the .create extension), this triggers	the run	mode.
