DESCRIPTION

14       podman save saves an image to either docker-archive, oci-archive,
15       oci-dir (directory with oci manifest type), or docker-dir (directory
16       with v2s2 manifest type) on the local machine, default is
17       docker-archive. podman save writes to STDOUT by default and can be
18       redirected to a file using the output flag. The quiet flag suppresses
19       the output when set.  Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be
20       part of the file name.
