 **podman container commit** [*options*] *container* [*image*]
 
 ## DESCRIPTION
-**podman commit** creates an image based on a changed *container*. The author of the image can be set using the **--author** OPTION. Various image instructions can be configured with the **--change** OPTION and a commit message can be set using the **--message** OPTION. The *container* and its processes are paused while the image is committed. This minimizes the likelihood of data corruption when creating the new image. If this is not desired, the **--pause** OPTION can be set to *false*. When the commit is complete, Podman will print out the ID of the new image.
