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-network-create - Create a Podman CNI network

SYNOPSIS

podman network create [options] name

DESCRIPTION

Create a CNI-network configuration for use with Podman. By default, Podman creates a bridge connection. A Macvlan connection can be created with the macvlan option. In the case of Macvlan connections, the CNI dhcp plugin needs to be activated or the container image must have a DHCP client to interact with the host network's DHCP server.

If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name for your network.

Upon completion of creating the network, Podman will display the path to the newly added network file.

OPTIONS

--disable-dns

Disables the DNS plugin for this network which if enabled, can perform container to container name resolution.

-d, --driver

Driver to manage the network (default "bridge"). Currently on bridge is supported.

--gateway

Define a gateway for the subnet. If you want to provide a gateway address, you must also provide a subnet option.

--internal

Restrict external access of this network

--ip-range

Allocate container IP from a range. The range must be a complete subnet and in CIDR notation. The ip-range option must be used with a subnet option.

--macvlan

Create a Macvlan based connection rather than a classic bridge. You must pass an interface name from the host for the Macvlan connection.

--subnet

The subnet in CIDR notation.

EXAMPLE

Create a network with no options

# podman network create
/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-4.conflist

Create a network named newnet that uses 192.5.0.0/16 for its subnet.

# podman network create --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist

Create a network named newnet that uses 192.168.33.0/24 and defines a gateway as 192.168.133.3

# podman network create --subnet 192.168.33.0/24 --gateway 192.168.33.3 newnet
/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist

Create a network that uses a 192.168.55.0/24* subnet and has an IP address range of 192.168.55.129 - 192.168.55.254.

# podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --ip-range 192.168.55.128/25
/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-5.conflist

Create a Macvlan based network using the host interface eth0

# podman network create --macvlan eth0 newnet
/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
