DESCRIPTION

17       podman  save  saves  an  image  to  either docker-archive, oci-archive,
18       oci-dir (directory with oci manifest type),  or  docker-dir  (directory
19       with  v2s2  manifest  type) on the local machine, default is docker-ar‐
20       chive. podman save writes to STDOUT by default and can be redirected to
21       a file using the output flag. The quiet flag suppresses the output when
22       set.  podman save will save parent  layers  of  the  image(s)  and  the
23       image(s)  can  be  loaded using podman load.  To export the containers,
24       use the podman export.  Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be
25       part of the file name.
