<para>
<command>lxc-create</command> creates a system object where is
stored the configuration informations and where can be stored
user information. The identifier <replaceable>name</replaceable>
is used to specify the container to be used with the different
lxc commands.

contains informations, the more the container is isolated and
the more the application is jailed.

is not specified, the container will be created with the default
isolation: processes, sysv ipc and mount points.
