  Description     : Go library for managing Linux control groups (cgroups) - source

This library provides a native Go implementation for managing and interacting
with Linux control groups (cgroups), specifically for the unified hierarchy
(cgroups v2) and the legacy hierarchy (cgroups v1). It is a core dependency for
container runtimes and other utilities that require fine-grained resource
management of processes (e.g., CPU, memory, I/O, and pids).

Key features include:              

 • A clean and idiomatic Go API for creating, managing, and destroying cgroups.                                                           • Full support for both cgroups v1 and v2.
 • Loading and parsing existing cgroup configurations from the system.
 • Comprehensive management of all standard controllers (subsystems) such as cpu, cpuset, memory, io, pids, and rdma.
 • Statistics and metrics retrieval from cgroups.

This package contains the source code needed to build packages that use this
library. It is a fundamental component of the Open Containers Initiative (OCI)
ecosystem and is used by projects like containerd and runc.
