Epic Goal

Why is this important?

While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower level tool like a container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and use a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts.

crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in programs without requiring an external process for managing OCI containers.

This is the elapsed time on my machine for running sequentially 100 containers, the containers run /bin/true:

	crun	runc	%
100 /bin/true	0:01.69	0:3.34	-49.4%
