The `podman ps --all` command will now show containers that are under the control of other c/storage container systems and the new `ps --storage` option will show only containers that are in c/storage but are not controlled by libpod. In the below examples, the '*working-container' entries were created by Buildah. ``` podman ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 9257ef8c786c docker.io/library/busybox:latest ls /etc 8 hours ago Exited (0) 8 hours ago gifted_jang d302c81856da docker.io/library/busybox:latest buildah 30 hours ago storage busybox-working-container 7a5a7b099d33 localhost/tom:latest ls -alF 30 hours ago Exited (0) 30 hours ago hopeful_hellman 01d601fca090 localhost/tom:latest ls -alf 30 hours ago Exited (1) 30 hours ago determined_panini ee58f429ff26 localhost/tom:latest buildah 33 hours ago storage alpine-working-container podman ps --external CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES d302c81856da docker.io/library/busybox:latest buildah 30 hours ago external busybox-working-container ee58f429ff26 localhost/tom:latest buildah 33 hours ago external alpine-working-container ``` Signed-off-by: TomSweeneyRedHat <tsweeney@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-rm - Remove one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
podman rm [options] container
podman container rm [options] container
DESCRIPTION
podman rm will remove one or more containers from the host. The container name or ID can be used. This does not remove images. Running or unusable containers will not be removed without the -f option.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Remove all containers. Can be used in conjunction with -f as well.
--cidfile
Read container ID from the specified file and remove the container. Can be specified multiple times.
--force, -f
Force the removal of running and paused containers. Forcing a container removal also removes containers from container storage even if the container is not known to podman. Containers could have been created by a different container engine. In addition, forcing can be used to remove unusable containers, e.g. containers whose OCI runtime has become unavailable.
--ignore, -i
Ignore errors when specified containers are not in the container store. A user might have decided to manually remove a container which would lead to a failure during the ExecStop directive of a systemd service referencing that container.
--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.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
--storage
Remove external containers from the storage library. This is only possible with containers that are not present in libpod can be seen by podman ps --all --storage). It is used to remove external containers from podman build and buildah, and orphan containers which were only partially removed by podman rm. The storage option conflicts with the --all, --latest, and --volumes options.
--volumes, -v
Remove anonymous volumes associated with the container. This does not include named volumes created with podman volume create, or the --volume option of podman run and podman create.
EXAMPLE
Remove a container by its name mywebserver
$ podman rm mywebserver
Remove several containers by name and container id.
$ podman rm mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
Remove several containers reading their IDs from files.
$ podman rm --cidfile ./cidfile-1 --cidfile /home/user/cidfile-2
Forcibly remove a container by container ID.
$ podman rm -f 860a4b23
Remove all containers regardless of its run state.
$ podman rm -f -a
Forcibly remove the latest container created.
$ podman rm -f --latest
Exit Status
0 All specified containers removed
1 One of the specified containers did not exist, and no other failures
2 One of the specified containers is paused or running
125 The command fails for a reason other than container did not exist or is paused/running
