#### **--policy**
Pull image policy. The default is **always**.
- `always`: Always pull the image and throw an error if the pull fails.
- `missing`: Only pull the image if it could not be found in the local containers storage. Throw an error if no image could be found and the pull fails.
- `never`: Never pull the image; only use the local version. Throw an error if the image is not present locally.
- `newer`: Pull if the image on the registry is newer than the one in the local containers storage. An image is considered to be newer when the digests are different. Comparing the time stamps is prone to errors. Pull errors are suppressed if a local image was found.
#### **--quiet**, **-q**
Suppress output information when pulling images
