Description
podmanexport exports the filesystem of a container and saves it as a tarball on the local machine.
podmanexport writes to STDOUT by default and can be redirected to a file using the --output flag. The
image of the container exported by podmanexport can be imported by podmanimport. To export image(s)
with parent layers, use podmansave. Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file
