podman-generate-spec - Generate Specgen JSON based on containers or pods
Contents
Description
podmangeneratespec generates SpecGen JSON from Podman Containers and Pods. This JSON can be printed to

This JSON can then be used as input for the Podman API, specifically for Podman container and pod
creation. Specgen is Podman's internal structure for formulating new container-related entities.
