podman-save - Save image(s) to an archive

podmansave saves an image to a local file or directory.  podmansave writes to STDOUT by default and can
       be  redirected  to  a  file using the output flag. The quiet flag suppresses the output when set.  podmansave saves parent layers of the image(s) and the image(s) can be loaded using podmanload.  To export the
       containers, use the podmanexport.  Note: : is a restricted character and cannot  be  part  of  the  file
       name.
