.SH NOTE
.sp
The commands provided by \fBlava\-lxc\-mocker\fP are simple shell scripts that use
the same command names mocking some LXC commands and does not
use LXC. \fBlava\-lxc\-mocker\fP 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.
