+SYNOPSIS
+
+   lxc-helpers.sh [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help]
+		  [-o|--os {bookworm|bullseye} (default bookworm)]
+		  command [arguments]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+   A thin shell based layer on top of LXC to create, populate, run and
+   destroy LXC containers. A container is created from a copy of an
+   existing container.
+
+CREATE AND DESTROY
+
+   lxc_prepare_environment
+
+       Install LXC dependencies.
+
+   lxc_container_create `name`
+
+       Create the `name` container.
+
+   lxc_container_mount `name` `path`
+
+       Configure `name` container to bind mount `path` so that it is
+       also accessible at `path` from within the container.
+
+   lxc_container_start `name`
+
+       Start the `name` container.
+
+   lxc_container_stop `name`
+
+       Stop the `name` container.
+
+   lxc_container_destroy `name`
+
+       Call lxc_container_stop `name` and destroy the container.
+
+   lxc_template_release
+
+       Echo the name of the container for the Operating System
+       specified with `--os`.
+
+   lxc_build_template `existing_container` `new_container`
+
+       Copy `existing_container` into `new_container`. If
+       `existing_container` is equal to $(lxc-helpers.sh lxc_template_release) it
+       will be created on demand.
+
+ACTIONS IN THE CONTAINER
+
+   For some command lxc_something `name` that can be called from outside the container
+   there is an equivalent function lxc_something_inside that can be called from inside
+   the container.
+
+   lxc_install_lxc `name` `prefix`
+   lxc_install_lxc_inside `prefix`
+
+      Install LXC in the `name` container to allow the creation of
+      named containers. `prefix` is a class C IP prefix from which
+      containers will obtain their IP (for instance 10.40.50).
+
+   lxc_container_run `name` command [options...]
+
+      Run the `command` within the `name` container.
+
+   lxc_container_run_script `name` `path`
+   lxc_container_run_script_as `name` `user` `path`
+
+      Run the script found at `path` within the `name` container. The
+      environment is cleared before running the script. The first form
+      will run as root, the second form will impersonate `user`.
+
+   lxc_container_user_install `name` `user_id` `user` [`homedir` default `/home`]
+
+      Create the `user` with `user_id` in the `name` container with a
+      HOME at `/homedir/user`. Passwordless sudo permissions are
+      granted to `user`. It is made a member of the groups docker, kvm
+      and libvirt if they exist already. A SSH key is created.
+
+      Example: lxc_container_user_install mycontainer $(id -u) $USER
+
