NAME

       podman-rename - Rename an existing container

SYNOPSIS

       podman rename container newname

       podman container rename container newname

DESCRIPTION

       Rename changes the name of an existing container.  The old name will be freed, and will be
       available for use.  This command can be run on containers in any state.  However,  running
       containers  may  not  fully  receive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a
       running container may still use the old name in its logs.  At present, only containers are
       supported; pods and volumes cannot be renamed.
