The `cnitool` takes a 5 `network name` and a `network namespace` and a command to `ADD` or 6 `DEL`,.i.e, attach or detach containers from a network. The `cnitool` 7 relies on the following environment variables to operate properly: 8 9 * `NETCONFPATH`: This environment variable needs to be set to a 10 directory. It defaults to `/etc/cni/net.d`. The `cnitool` searches 11 for CNI configuration files in this directory with the extension 12 `*.conf` or `*.json`. It loads all the CNI configuration files in 13 this directory and if it finds a CNI configuration with the `network 14 name` given to the cnitool it returns the corresponding CNI 15 configuration, else it returns `nil`. 16 * `CNI_PATH`: For a given CNI configuration `cnitool` will search for 17 the corresponding CNI plugin in this path. 18 19 For the full documentation of `cnitool` see the [cnitool docs](../cnitool/README.md)
