Only for podman-create and -run, unfortunately: all the others are too different, and can't easily be combined. I went with the podman-run version because it was most recently updated in #5192. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

#### **--name**=*name*

Assign a name to the container.
|
|
|
|
The operator can identify a container in three ways:
|
|
|
|
- UUID long identifier (“f78375b1c487e03c9438c729345e54db9d20cfa2ac1fc3494b6eb60872e74778”);
|
|
- UUID short identifier (“f78375b1c487”);
|
|
- Name (“jonah”).
|
|
|
|
Podman generates a UUID for each container, and if a name is not assigned
|
|
to the container with **--name** then it will generate a random
|
|
string name. The name is useful any place you need to identify a container.
|
|
This works for both background and foreground containers.
