+ <para>Execute operation on a local container. Specify a container name to connect to, optionally
+ prefixed by a user name to connect as and a separating <literal>@</literal> character. If the special
+ string <literal>.host</literal> is used in place of the container name, a connection to the local
+ system is made. If the <literal>@</literal> syntax is not used, the connection is made as root user.
+ If the <literal>@</literal> syntax is used either the left hand side or the right hand side may be
+ omitted (but not both) in which case the local user name and <literal>.host</literal> are implied.
