+By default, the Docker daemon automatically starts `containerd`. If you want to
+control `containerd` startup, manually start `containerd` and pass the path to
+the `containerd` socket using the `--containerd` flag. For example:

 Runtimes can be registered with the daemon either via the
 configuration file or using the `--add-runtime` command line argument.
