NAME

       podman-image-mount - Mount an image's root filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       podman image mount [options] [image ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Mounts the specified images' root file system in a location which can be accessed from the
       host, and returns its location.

       The podman image mount command without any arguments lists all of  the  currently  mounted
       images.

       Rootless mode only supports mounting VFS driver, unless podman is run in a user namespace.
       Use the podman unshare command to enter the user namespace. All other storage drivers fail
       to mount.

RETURN VALUE

       The location of the mounted file system.  On error an empty string and errno is returned.

OPTIONS

   --all, -a
       Mount all images.

   --format=format
       Print the mounted images in specified format (json).

EXAMPLE

       Mount  multiple  images. Note: In rootless mode, image mounting works only after executing
       the podman unshare command to enter the user namespace.
