DESCRIPTION

18       podman export exports the filesystem of a container and saves it  as  a
19       tarball on the local machine. podman export writes to STDOUT by default
20       and can be redirected to a file using the --output flag.  The image  of
21       the  container  exported by podman export can be imported by podman im‐
22       port.  To export image(s) with parent layers, use podman save.  Note: :
23       is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
