kiwi system create
==================
SYNOPSIS
--------
.. code:: bash
kiwi [global options] service <command> [<args>]
kiwi system create -h | --help
kiwi system create --root=<directory> --target-dir=<directory>
[--signing-key=<key-file>...]
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.
--signing-key=<key-file>
set the key file to be trusted and imported into the package
manager database before performing any opertaion. This is useful
if an image build should take and validate repository and package
signatures during build time. In create step this option only
affects the boot image. This option can be specified multiple
times
