+Build a container
+-----------------
+
+:manual section: 1
+:manual group: Open Infrastructure
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **container build** ['OPTIONS']
+| **cnt b** ['OPTIONS']
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The **container build** command builds a container based on a script.
+
+Scripts
+-------
+
+The following build scripts are available:
+
+debootstrap:
+ Basic script to build Debian based container, see
+ container-build-debootstrap(1).
+
+debconf:
+ Advanced script to automatically build Debian based container, see
+ container-build-debconf(1).
+
+default:
+ Symlink (if existing) to a build script which is used if no script was
+ specified. On Debian based system this can be managed through
+ update-alternatives(1), i.e. 'sudo update-alternatives --config
+ container_build-script'.
+

+-c, --capability='CAPABILITY':
+ Specify capabilities to grant, see capabilities(7).
+
+-d, --drop-capability='DROP_CAPABILITY':
+ Specify capabilities to drop, see capabilities(7).
+
+-s, --script='SCRIPT':
+ Specify container build script, defaults to 'debootstrap'.
+
+-v, --verbose:

+
+-b, --bind='DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS][;DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS]]':
+ Specify container read-write bind mounts, see systemd-nspawn(1) --bind option.
+
+--bind-ro='DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS][;DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS]]':
+ Specify container read-only bind mounts, see systemd-nspawn(1) --bind-ro
+ option.
+
+--cnt-overlay='DIRECTORY_LOWER:DIRECTORY_UPPER:DIRECTORY_WORK:DIRECTORY_MERGED[;DIRECTORY_UPPER:DIRECTORY_LOWER:DIRECTORY_WORK:DIRECTORY_MERGED]':
+ Specify container overlay mounts, see Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt.
+
+--cnt.overlay-options='OPTION1,OPTION2[;OPTION3,OPTION4]':
+ Specify container overlay mount options, see
+ Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt.
+
+--cnt.start='OPTION1[,OPTION2,...]':
