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.
