+
+ Positional arguments:

+
+### Create an object container
+
+Create the container named "flex-container01":
+``` shell
+swift post flex-container01
+```
+
+If you like, make the container public:
+``` shell
+swift post --header "X-Container-Read: .r:*" flex-container01
+```
+
+Verify the container's configuration:
+``` shell
+swift stat flex-container01
+```
+
+!!! example
+ INSERT EXAMPLE
+
+### Upload files to the container
+
+Upload the entire contents of a folder to the container:
+``` shell
+swift upload flex-container01 example-files/
+```
+
+!!! example
+ example-docs/readme.md
+ example-docs/image01.jpg
+ example-docs/image02.png
+
+Uploading an entire folder will add that prefix to your filenames inside the container.
+``` shell
+swift list flex-container01
+```
+
+!!! example
+ example-docs/readme.md
+ example-docs/image01.jpg
+ example-docs/image02.png
+ document01.rtf
+ document02.rtf
+
+Filter the display of files only with the prefix by using the `--prefix` argument:
+``` shell
+swift list flex-container01 --prefix example-docs
+```
+
+!!! example
+ example-docs/readme.md
+ example-docs/image01.jpg
+ example-docs/image02.png
+
+### Downloading files
+When the container is public, you can access each file using a specific URL, made up of your region's endpoint, the name of your container, the prefix (if any) of your object, and finally, the object name.
+``` shell
+/v1/AUTHxxx/flex-container01/example-docs/readme.md
+```
+
+Using the swift client to download a single file:
+``` shell
+swift download flex-container01 document01.rtf
+```
+
+Using the swift client to download multiple files with the same prefix:
+``` shell
+swift download flex-container01 --prefix example-docs
+```
+
+### Deleting containers or objects
+``` shell
+swift delete flex-container01 document01.rtf
+```
+
+!!! example
+ document01.rtf
+
+Similar to downloading, you can delete multiple files with the same prefix:
+``` shell
+swift delete flex-container01 example-docs/*
+```
+
+!!! example
+ example-docs/readme.md
+ example-docs/image01.jpg
+ example-docs/image02.png
+
+Deleting a container:
+``` shell
+swift delete flex-container01
+```
+
+!!! example
+ document01.rtf
+ document02.rtf
+
+Deleting a container will delete all files in the container.
