       Create  an  image  from the previously prepared image root directory. The kiwicreate command is normally
       issued after the kiwiprepare command, and it and builds the requested image type in the specified target
       directory.

--root=<directory>
              Path to the image root directory. This directory is normally created by the kiwiprepare  command.
              Keep  in  mind that if the specified directory is not created using the kiwiprepare command, KIWI
              NG stores image build metadata in the image/ directory. This directory must  exist  for  the  kiwicreate command to work correctly.

       --target-dir=<directory>
              Path to store the build results.

       --signing-key=<key-file>
              Trusted key file to be imported into the package manager database before performing any operation.
              This is useful if an image build validates repository and package signatures during build time. In
              the  create  step,  this option only affects the boot image. This option can be specified multiple
              times.
