DESCRIPTION

16

LIMITATIONS

18       If  the image was pushed to a directory path using the 'dir:' transport
19       the rmi command can not remove the image.  Instead standard file system
20       commands  should be used.  If imageID is a name, but does not include a
21       registry name, buildah will attempt to find and remove an  image  named
22       using  the  registry name localhost, if no such image is found, it will
23       search for the intended image by attempting to expand  the  given  name
24       using  the names of registries provided in the system's registries con‐
25       figuration file, registries.conf.

33       tainers using the image as a reference image.  An image name or id can‐
34       not be provided when this option is used.  Read/Only images  configured

36       age.conf file, can not be removed.
