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  im‐
23       age(s)  can be loaded using podman load.  To export the containers, use
24       the podman export.  Note: : is a restricted  character  and  cannot  be
25       part of the file name.
