DESCRIPTION

17       podman  import  imports a tarball (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .bzip, .tar.xz,
18       .txz) and saves it as a filesystem image. Remote tarballs can be speci‐
19       fied  using  a  URL.  Various image instructions can be configured with
20       the --change flag and a commit message can be set using  the  --message
21       flag.   reference, if present, is a tag to assign to the image.  podman
22       import is used for importing from the archive generated by  podman  ex‐
23       port,  that  includes the container's filesystem. To import the archive
24       of image layers created by podman save, use podman load.  Note: : is  a
25       restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
