cgcreate
create new control groups
TLDR
Create a cgroup with specific controller
$ cgcreate -g cpu:mygroup
Create cgroup with multiple controllers$ cgcreate -g cpu,memory:mygroup
Create cgroup with all mounted controllers$ cgcreate -g *:mygroup
Set tasks file ownership$ cgcreate -t user:group -g cpu:mygroup
Set control files ownership$ cgcreate -a user:group -g cpu:mygroup
Set directory permissions$ cgcreate -d 755 -g cpu:mygroup
SYNOPSIS
cgcreate [-h] [-t tuid:tgid] [-a agid:auid] [-f mode] [-d mode] -g controllers:path [-g ...]
DESCRIPTION
cgcreate creates new cgroups (control groups) used to limit, measure, and control resources used by processes. Cgroup controllers include memory, cpu, cpuset, blkio, net_cls, and others.
PARAMETERS
-g CONTROLLERS:PATH
Specify controllers and path for the cgroup (required). Controllers can be comma-separated or "*" for all mounted controllers-t TUID:TGID
Set ownership of the tasks file (determines who can add processes)-a AUID:AGID
Set ownership of control files (determines who can modify parameters)-d, --dperm=MODE
Set directory permissions in octal notation (e.g., 755)-f, --fperm=MODE
Set parameter file permissions in octal notation-s, --tperm=MODE
Set tasks file permissions in octal notation-h, --help

INSTALL
sudo apt install cgroup-tools
sudo apk add cgroup-tools
CAVEATS
Cgroups v1 and v2 have different hierarchies and features. On cgroups v2 systems, the syntax and available controllers may differ. Created cgroups persist until deleted with cgdelete or system reboot.
HISTORY
cgcreate is part of libcgroup, providing user-space tools for managing Linux control groups which were introduced in kernel 2.6.24.
