SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       This is a configuration file for a container. It is stored as

       container.

       Configuration file consists of lines in the form

       PARAMETER="value"

       All parameter names and values are case-sensitive. Quotes surrounding a
       value are required if value contains spaces, and are optional
       otherwise.  Extra spaces are not allowed. All unrecognized lines will
       be ignored.
