NAME
       netavark - Configure a given network namespace for use by a container


SYNOPSIS
       netavark [options] command network namespace path


DESCRIPTION
       Netavark configures a network namespace according to a configuration
       read from STDIN. The configuration is JSON formatted.


GLOBAL OPTIONS
       --file, -f

       Instead of reading from STDIN, read the configuration to be applied
       from the given file. -f - may also be used to flag reading from STDIN.


COMMANDS
   netavark setup
       The setup command configures the given network namespace with the given
       configuration, creating any interfaces and firewall rules necessary.


   netavark teardown
       The teardown command is the inverse of the setup command, undoing any
       configuration applied. Some interfaces may not be deleted (bridge
       interfaces, for example, will not be removed).


   CONFIGURATION FORMAT
       The configuration accepted is the same for both setup and teardown. It
       is JSON formatted.

       Format is

       but we will also send a Networks array including all the network
       definitions

       TODO: Transcribe configuration into here in a nice tabular format
