Ed Santiago 3a9d14d4e9 man page --format xref: tighten the autocompletion check
Followup to #17486: stricter checks on --format.

  * If a subcommand offers autocompletion for templates,
    it must also offer a '--format json' option.

  * If a subcommand has a --format option that DOES NOT
    offer autocompletion for templates, it must be listed
    in a hardcoded grandparented-in table of commands
    where that's not applicable. (Mostly commands
    like build, commit, save, where "format" is used
    in the context of "oci/docker").

Only likely to trigger on PRs which add new subcommands,
and is intended to catch oversights.

Also, test for alphanumeric order in man page tables.
Sort all existing tables.

NAME

podman-history - Show the history of an image

SYNOPSIS

podman history [options] image[:tag|@digest]

podman image history [options] image[:tag|@digest]

DESCRIPTION

podman history displays the history of an image by printing out information about each layer used in the image. The information printed out for each layer include Created (time and date), Created By, Size, and Comment. The output can be truncated or not using the --no-trunc flag. If the --human flag is set, the time of creation and size are printed out in a human readable format. The --quiet flag displays the ID of the image only when set and the --format flag is used to print the information using the Go template provided by the user.

OPTIONS

--format=format

Alter the output for a format like 'json' or a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder Description
.Comment Comment for the layer
.Created if --human, time elapsed since creation, otherwise time stamp of creation
.CreatedAt Time when the image layer was created
.CreatedBy Command used to create the layer
.CreatedSince Elapsed time since the image layer was created
.ID Image ID
.Size Size of layer on disk
.Tags Image tags

--help, -h

Print usage statement

--human, -H
