<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>lxc-update-config</command> detects any legacy
configuration keys in the given <replaceable>config</replaceable>
file and will replace them with the appropriate new configuration
keys.
</para>
<para>
<command>lxc-update-config</command> will first create a backup of
the old <replaceable>config</replaceable> file in the same directory
and name it <replaceable>config.backup</replaceable> and then update
the original <replaceable>config</replaceable> file in place. In
case the update fails to apply or leads to an invalid
<replaceable>config</replaceable> file that cannot be used to start
a container users can either compare
<replaceable>config</replaceable> with
<replaceable>config.backup</replaceable> and try to manually repair
any the invalid configuration keys or simply rollback to the legacy
configuration file by copying
<replaceable>config.backup</replaceable> to
<replaceable>config</replaceable>.
</para>
<para>
Any failures for <command>lxc-update-config</command> to generate a
useable <replaceable>config</replaceable> file are a bug and should
be reported upstream.
