Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the dashes is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>

## NAME
|
|
podman\-init - Initialize one or more containers
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman init** [*options*] *container* [*container*...]
|
|
|
|
**podman container init** [*options*] *container* [*container*...]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
Initialize one or more containers.
|
|
You may use container IDs or names as input.
|
|
Initializing a container performs all tasks necessary for starting the container (mounting filesystems, creating an OCI spec, initializing the container network) but does not start the container.
|
|
If a container is not initialized, the `podman start` and `podman run` commands will do so automatically prior to starting it.
|
|
This command is intended to be used for inspecting or modifying the container's filesystem or OCI spec prior to starting it.
|
|
This can be used to inspect the container before it runs, or debug why a container is failing to run.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
#### **--all**, **-a**
|
|
|
|
Initialize all containers. Containers that have already initialized (including containers that have been started and are running) are ignored.
|
|
|
|
#### **--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. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)
|
