DESCRIPTION

17       podman  load  loads an image from either an oci-archive or a docker-ar‐
18       chive stored on the local machine into container storage.  podman  load
19       reads from stdin by default or a file if the input option is set.  pod‐
20       man load is used for loading from the archive generated by podman save,
21       that  includes  the  image  parent  layers. To load the archive of con‐
22       tainer's filesystem created by podman export, use podman import.
23
24
25       The local client further supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as
26       created with podman save (1).

28
29       The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set.  Note: : is a
30       restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
