The other direction: fix or clean up elements documented in
man pages but which did/do not exist in actual podman:
* runlabel: add missing "-n" alias for --name
And, remove man page entries for nonexistent options:
* podman commit: --iidfile
* podman container runlabel: --rootfs, --storage
* podman create: --cpu-count
There are two problems I don't know how to deal with. Both
are related to main_local.go:rootCmd.PersistentFlags() :
1) podman-build.1.md documents --cni-config-dir and
--runtime options, but these are not actually options
under podman build; they are global options. The
documentation in this man page differs from that
under podman-build.
2) podman ps implements a binary --namespace option,
but this option does not (cannot?) appear in --help
because there's a global --namespace string option
and Cobra somehow gets confused about this.
Do we really intend for global options to be parsed on
the right-hand side of subcommands? This strikes me as
unintuitive and potentially confusing, although the
fact that it has taken me this long to discover it
suggests that it's not _that_ confusing.
Suggestions welcome. I can file issues for 1/2 above,
or simply teach my script to special-case ignore them.
