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

       --hostuidmap.

       --gidmap

       --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.
