Paul Holzinger 30e731ecc8 Revert escaped double dash man page flag syntax
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.

NAME

podman-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage

SYNOPSIS

podman load [options]

podman image load [options]

DESCRIPTION

podman load loads an image from either an oci-archive or a docker-archive stored on the local machine into container storage. podman load reads from stdin by default or a file if the input option is set. podman load is used for loading from the archive generated by podman save, that includes the image parent layers. To load the archive of container's filesystem created by podman export, use podman import.

The local client further supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as created with podman save (1).

The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set. Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
