 [**--cgroup-parent**[=*CGROUP-PATH*]]
 IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]
 
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Creates a writeable container layer over the specified image and prepares it for
+running the specified command. The container ID is then printed to STDOUT. This
+is similar to **docker run -d** except the container is never started. You can 
+then use the **docker start <container_id>** command to start the container at
+any point.
+
+The initial status of the container created with **docker create** is 'created'.
+
 # OPTIONS
 **-a**, **--attach**=[]
    Attach to STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR.
