In each options/foo.md, keep a list of where the option is used. This will be valuable to anyone making future edits, and to those reviewing those edits. This may be a controversial commit, because those crossref lists are autogenerated as a side effect of the script that reads them. It definitely violates POLA. And one day, some kind person will reconcile (e.g.) --label, using it in more man pages, and maybe forget to git-commit the rewritten file, and CI will fail. I think this is a tough tradeoff, but worth doing. Without this, it's much too easy for someone to change an option file in a way that renders it inapplicable/misleading for some podman commands.

--volumes-from=CONTAINER[:OPTIONS]
Mount volumes from the specified container(s). Used to share volumes between containers<<| and pods>>. The options is a comma-separated list with the following available elements:
- rw|ro
- z
Mounts already mounted volumes from a source container onto another <<container|pod>>. CONTAINER may be a name or ID. To share a volume, use the --volumes-from option when running the target container. Volumes can be shared even if the source container is not running.
By default, Podman mounts the volumes in the same mode (read-write or
read-only) as it is mounted in the source container.
This can be changed by adding a ro
or rw
option.
Labeling systems like SELinux require that proper labels are placed on volume content mounted into a <<container|pod>>. Without a label, the security system might prevent the processes running inside the container from using the content. By default, Podman does not change the labels set by the OS.
To change a label in the <<container|pod>> context, add z
to the volume mount.
This suffix tells Podman to relabel file objects on the shared volumes. The z
option tells Podman that two entities share the volume content. As a result,
Podman labels the content with a shared content label. Shared volume labels allow
all containers to read/write content.
If the location of the volume from the source container overlaps with data residing on a target <<container|pod>>, then the volume hides that data on the target.
