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.  pod-
       man load	is used	for loading from the archive generated by podman save,
       that includes the image parent layers. To  load	the  archive  of  con-
       tainer'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 stor-
       age location of container images. Podman	defaults to use	/var/tmp.

   --quiet, -q
       Suppress	the progress output

EXAMPLES

       $ podman	load --quiet -i	fedora.tar.gz

       Create an image from stdin using	bash redirection from a	tar file.
