Ed Santiago 281def2647 man pages: fix inconsistencies
I wrote a script to cross-reference podman --help against
man pages. It found a bunch of inconsistencies fix them:

 * options missing from man pages
 * options misspelled or misformatted in man pages (usually
   misplaced asterisks or missing dashes, but see --dns-opt)
 * one spurious comma in the actual source file --help

This is a fix in which I iterate over 'podman CMD --help'
and check for presence in man pages. The other way around
(look for flags in man pages, check podman CMD --help)
is probably impossible: there are too many special cases

NAME

podman-container-cleanup - Cleanup the container's network and mountpoints

SYNOPSIS

podman container cleanup [options] container

DESCRIPTION

podman container cleanup cleans up exited containers by removing all mountpoints and network configuration from the host. The container name or ID can be used. The cleanup command does not remove the containers. Running containers will not be cleaned up. Sometimes container's mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman command was killed or the container ran in daemon mode. This command is automatically executed when you run containers in daemon mode by the conmon process when the container exits.

OPTIONS

--all, -a

Cleanup all containers.

--latest, -l Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

--rm

After cleanup, remove the container entirely.

--rmi

After cleanup, remove the image entirely.

EXAMPLE

podman container cleanup mywebserver

podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23

podman container cleanup 860a4b23

podman container cleanup -a

podman container cleanup --latest
