KIWI::SYSTEM::CREATE(2)

NAME
kiwi::system::create - Create image from prepared root system

SYNOPSIS

kiwi [global options] service <command> [<args>]
kiwi system create -h | --help
kiwi system create --root=<directory> --target-dir=<directory>
kiwi system create help

DESCRIPTION

Create an image from a previously prepared image root directory. The kiwi create call is usually issued after a kiwi prepare command and builds the requested image type in the specified target directory

OPTIONS

--root=<directory>
    Path to the image root directory. This directory is usually created by the kiwi prepare command. If a directory is used which was not created by kiwi's prepare command, it's important to know that kiwi stores image build metadata below the image/ directory which needs to be present in order to let the create command operate correctly.

--target-dir=<directory>
    Path to store the build results.
