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 Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-container-checkpoint - Checkpoints one or more running containers
SYNOPSIS
podman container checkpoint [options] container ...
DESCRIPTION
Checkpoints all the processes in one or more containers. You may use container IDs or names as input.
OPTIONS
--keep, -k
Keep all temporary log and statistics files created by CRIU during checkpointing. These files are not deleted if checkpointing fails for further debugging. If checkpointing succeeds these files are theoretically not needed, but if these files are needed Podman can keep the files for further analysis.
--all, -a
Checkpoint all running containers.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, checkpoint the last created container.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
--leave-running, -R
Leave the container running after checkpointing instead of stopping it.
--tcp-established
Checkpoint a container with established TCP connections. If the checkpoint image contains established TCP connections, this options is required during restore. Defaults to not checkpointing containers with established TCP connections.
--export, -e
Export the checkpoint to a tar.gz file. The exported checkpoint can be used to import the container on another system and thus enabling container live migration. This checkpoint archive also includes all changes to the container's root file-system, if not explicitly disabled using --ignore-rootfs
--ignore-rootfs
This only works in combination with --export, -e. If a checkpoint is exported to a tar.gz file it is possible with the help of --ignore-rootfs to explicitly disable including changes to the root file-system into the checkpoint archive file.
EXAMPLE
podman container checkpoint mywebserver
