DESCRIPTION

17       podman  save  saves an image to a local file or directory.  podman save
18       writes to STDOUT by default and can be redirected to a file  using  the
19       output  flag.  The  quiet  flag suppresses the output when set.  podman
20       save will save parent layers of the image(s) and the  image(s)  can  be
21       loaded using podman load.  To export the containers, use the podman ex‐
22       port.  Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file
23       name.
