Command flags (OPTIONS) in man pages have to date been in haphazard order. Sometimes that order is sensible, e.g., most-important options first, but more often they're just in arbitrary places. This makes life hard for users. Here, I update the man-page-check Makefile script so it checks and enforces alphabetical order in OPTIONS sections. Then -- the hard part -- update all existing man pages to conform to this requirement. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

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.
podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]
podman load [GLOBAL OPTIONS]
podman load [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS
--help, -h
Print usage statement
--input, -i=input
Load the specified input file instead of from stdin. The file can be on the local file system or on a server (e.g., https://server.com/archive.tar)
The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, requires the use of this option.
NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR
to change the temporary storage location of container images. Podman defaults to use /var/tmp
.
--quiet, -q
Suppress the progress output
EXAMPLES
$ podman load --quiet -i fedora.tar
$ podman load -q -i https://server.com/archive.tar
$ podman load < fedora.tar
