### Service "neo.fs.v2.container.ContainerService"
`ContainerService` provides API to interact with `Container` smart contract
in NeoFS sidechain via other NeoFS nodes. All of those actions can be done
equivalently by directly issuing transactions and RPC calls to sidechain
nodes.

```
rpc Put(PutRequest) returns (PutResponse);
rpc Delete(DeleteRequest) returns (DeleteResponse);
rpc Get(GetRequest) returns (GetResponse);
rpc List(ListRequest) returns (ListResponse);
rpc SetExtendedACL(SetExtendedACLRequest) returns (SetExtendedACLResponse);
rpc GetExtendedACL(GetExtendedACLRequest) returns (GetExtendedACLResponse);

```

#### Method Put

`Put` invokes `Container` smart contract's `Put` method and returns
response immediately. After a new block is issued in sidechain, request is
verified by Inner Ring nodes. After one more block in sidechain, container
is added into smart contract storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Put | [PutRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.PutRequest) | [PutResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.PutResponse) |
#### Method Delete

`Delete` invokes `Container` smart contract's `Delete` method and returns
response immediately. After a new block is issued in sidechain, request is
verified by Inner Ring nodes. After one more block in sidechain, container
is added into smart contract storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Delete | [DeleteRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.DeleteRequest) | [DeleteResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.DeleteResponse) |
#### Method Get

Returns container structure from `Container` smart contract storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Get | [GetRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.GetRequest) | [GetResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.GetResponse) |
#### Method List

Returns all owner's containers from 'Container` smart contract' storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| List | [ListRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.ListRequest) | [ListResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.ListResponse) |
#### Method SetExtendedACL

Invokes 'SetEACL' method of 'Container` smart contract and returns response
immediately. After one more block in sidechain, Extended ACL changes are
added into smart contract storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| SetExtendedACL | [SetExtendedACLRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.SetExtendedACLRequest) | [SetExtendedACLResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.SetExtendedACLResponse) |
#### Method GetExtendedACL

Returns Extended ACL table and signature from `Container` smart contract
storage.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| GetExtendedACL | [GetExtendedACLRequest](#neo.fs.v2.container.GetExtendedACLRequest) | [GetExtendedACLResponse](#neo.fs.v2.container.GetExtendedACLResponse) |

<a name="neo.fs.v2.container.Container"></a>

### Message Container
Container is a structure that defines object placement behaviour. Objects can
be stored only within containers. They define placement rule, attributes and
access control information. ID of the container is a 32 byte long SHA256 hash
of stable-marshalled container message.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| version | [neo.fs.v2.refs.Version](#neo.fs.v2.refs.Version) |  | Container format version. Effectively the version of API library used to create container. |
| owner_id | [neo.fs.v2.refs.OwnerID](#neo.fs.v2.refs.OwnerID) |  | Identifier of the container owner |
| nonce | [bytes](#bytes) |  | Nonce is a 16 byte UUIDv4, used to avoid collisions of `ContainerID`s |
| basic_acl | [uint32](#uint32) |  | `BasicACL` contains access control rules for owner, system, others groups and permission bits for `BearerToken` and `Extended ACL` |
| attributes | [Container.Attribute](#neo.fs.v2.container.Container.Attribute) | repeated | Attributes represent immutable container's meta data |
| placement_policy | [neo.fs.v2.netmap.PlacementPolicy](#neo.fs.v2.netmap.PlacementPolicy) |  | Placement policy for the object inside the container |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.container.Container.Attribute"></a>

### Message Container.Attribute
`Attribute` is a user-defined Key-Value metadata pair attached to the
container. Container attributes are immutable. They are set at container
creation and can never be added or updated.

Key name must be a container-unique valid UTF-8 string. Value can't be
empty. Containers with duplicated attribute names or attributes with empty
values will be considered invalid.

There are some "well-known" attributes affecting system behaviour:

* __NEOFS__SUBNET \
  String ID of container's storage subnet. Container can be attached to
  only one subnet.

And some well-known attributes used by applications only:

* Name \
  Human-friendly name
* Timestamp \
  User-defined local time of container creation in Unix Timestamp format
