NAME

       podman-generate-spec - Generate Specgen JSON based on containers or pods

SYNOPSIS

       podman generate spec [options] *container | pod

DESCRIPTION

       podman generate spec generates SpecGen JSON from Podman Containers and Pods. This JSON can
       be printed to a file, directly to the command line, or both.

       This JSON can then be used as input for the Podman API, specifically for Podman  container
       and  pod  creation.  Specgen is Podman's internal structure for formulating new container-
       related entities.

OPTIONS

   --compact, -c
       Print the output in a compact, one line format. This is useful when piping the data to the
       Podman API

   --filename, -f=filename
       Output to the given file.

   --name, -n
       Rename  the  pod or container, so that it does not conflict with the existing entity. This
       is helpful when the JSON is to be used before the source pod or container is deleted.

                                                                          podman-generate-spec(1)
