NAME

       containers-storage import-layer - Import files to a new layer

SYNOPSIS

       containers-storage import-layer [options [...]] [parentLayerNameOrID]

DESCRIPTION

       This subcommand is a combination of containers-storage create-layer and containers-storage
       apply-diff.

       When a layer is first created with containers-storage create-layer, it contains no changes
       relative to its parent layer.  The layer can either be mounted read-write and its contents
       modified directly, or contents can be added (or removed)  by  applying  a  layer  diff  by
       running containers-storage apply-diff.

OPTIONS

       -n name

       Sets an optional name for the layer. If a name is already in use, an error is returned.

       -i | --id ID

       Sets the ID for the layer. If none is specified, one is generated.

       -f | --file filename

       Specifies  the  name  of  a file from which the diff should be read. If this option is not
       used, the diff is read from standard input.

       -l | --label mount-label

       Sets the label which should be assigned as an SELinux context when mounting the layer.

       -r | --readonly

       Mark the layer as readonly.

       -j | --json

       Prefer JSON output.

       --uidmap

       UID map specified in the format expected by subuid. It cannot be specified  simultaneously
       with --hostuidmap.

       --gidmap

       GID  map specified in the format expected by subgid. It cannot be specified simultaneously
       with --hostuidmap.

       --hostuidmap

       Force host UID map. It cannot  be  specified  simultaneously  with  neither  --uidmap  nor
       --subuidmap.

       --hostgidmap

       Force  host  GID  map.  It  cannot  be  specified simultaneously with neither --gidmap nor
       --subgidmap.

       --subuidmap username

       simultaneously with --hostuidmap.
