About runc
CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. runc only supports Linux. It must be built with Go version 1.17 or higher. In order to enable seccomp support, you will need to install libseccomp on your platform. runc supports optional build tags for compiling support of various features, with some of them enabled by default. runc currently supports running its test suite via Docker. To run the suite just type make test. There are additional make targets for running the tests outside of a container but this is not recommended as the tests are written with the expectation that they can write and remove anywhere. You can run a specific test case by setting the TESTFLAGS variable. You can run a specific integration test by setting the TESTPATH variable. You can run a specific rootless integration test by setting the ROOTLESS_TESTPATH variable. Please note that runc is a low-level tool not designed with an end-user in mind.
