.SH NAME
cgmanager \- a daemon to manage cgroups
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cgmanager
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION

cgmanager is a daemon to manage cgroups.  Programs and users can
make D-Bus requests to administer cgroups over which they have
privilege.  To ensure that users may not exceed their privilege
in manipulating cgroups, the cgroup manager accepts regular D-Bus
requests only from tasks within its own process-id and user
namespaces.  For tasks in private namespaces (such as containers),
SCM-enhanced D-Bus calls are available.  Using these manually is
not recommended.  Rather, each container is advised to run a
cgproxy, which will forward plain D-Bus requests as SCM-enhanced
D-Bus requests to the host cgmanager.

.SH EXAMPLES
.P
To create a new memory cgroup called 'compute', you can use:
.br
dbus\-send \-\-print\-reply \-\-address=unix:path=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgmanager/sock \-\-type=method_call /org/linuxcontainers/cgmanager org.linuxcontainers.cgmanager0_0.Create string:'memory' string:"compute" > /dev/null 2>&1
.br
To set a limit of 100000,
.br
dbus\-send \-\-print\-reply \-\-address=unix:path=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgmanager/sock \-\-type=method_call /org/linuxcontainers/cgmanager org.linuxcontainers.cgmanager0_0.SetValue string:'memory' string:"compute" string:memory.limit_in_bytes int32:100000 > /dev/null 2>&1
