DESCRIPTION

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