NAME
       cgmanager - a daemon to manage cgroups

SYNOPSIS
       cgmanager [OPTION]...

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 man‐
       ually 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.

EXAMPLES
       To create a new memory cgroup called 'compute', you can use:
       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
       To set a limit of 100000,
       dbus-send          --print-reply         --address=unix:path=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgmanager/sock
       --type=method_call  /org/linuxcontainers/cgmanager   org.linuxcontainers.cgmanager0_0.Set‐
       Value   string:'memory'   string:"compute"   string:memory.limit_in_bytes  int32:100000  >
