NAME

       podman-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage

SYNOPSIS

       podman load [options]

       podman image load [options]

DESCRIPTION

       podman  load  loads  an  image from either an oci-archive or a docker-archive stored on the local machine
       into container storage. podman load reads from stdin by default or a file if the  input  option  is  set.
       podman load is used for loading from the archive generated by podman save, that includes the image parent
       layers. To load the archive of container's filesystem created by podman export, use podman import.

       The local client further supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as created with podman save (1).

       The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set.  Note: : is a restricted character  and  cannot
       be part of the file name.

       podman load [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

       podman load [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS

   --help, -h
       Print usage statement

   --input, -i=input
       Load  the  specified  input file instead of from stdin.  The file can be on the local file system or on a
       server (e.g., https://server.com/archive.tar). Also supports loading in compressed files.

       The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, requires the use of this option.

       NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR to change the temporary storage location of  container  images.
       Podman defaults to use /var/tmp.

   --quiet, -q
       Suppress the progress output
