BUILDAH-MANIFEST-EXISTS(1)

💖 buildah-manifest-exists — the vibe check for your manifest lists 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the buildah-manifest-exists(1) manual page 🎀 yes it's a real one, yes it's short, and yes it's lowkey iconic because it answers exactly one question: does this manifest list exist in local storage or not. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? slay. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

buildah-manifest-exists — check if the given manifest list exists in local storage 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

buildah manifest exists manifest

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: buildah manifest exists checks if a manifest list exists in local storage. that's literally the entire personality.

the way it talks back to you is through exit codes, so pay attention bestie:

• Buildah will return an exit code of 0 when the manifest list is found ✅
• A 1 will be returned otherwise ❌
• An exit code of 125 indicates there was another issue 😭

so like, 0 = she's here, 1 = she's not, 125 = something else went sideways and it's giving chaos. no cap.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help, -h — print usage statement. the classic. the icon. ask her for help and she delivers 🫶

---

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

checking a manifest list that DOES exist 👑

Check if a manifest list called list1 exists (the manifest list does actually exist).

$ buildah manifest exists list1
$ echo $?
0
$

see that 0? that's the green flag bestie 💚 she's real, she's there, we love that for us.

checking a manifest list that does NOT exist 🙈

Check if an manifest called mylist exists (the manifest list does not actually exist).

$ buildah manifest exists mylist
$ echo $?
1
$

and there's the 1. not found. she ghosted you. it happens. 😭

fr fr, this is the simplest little command in the whole manifest family and that's exactly why we stan. one question, one answer, zero drama. periodt. 💜

okay that's the whole page bestie, mwah 💋 — this was the buildah-manifest-exists(1) manual page, and for the record the footer just says buildah-manifest-exists(1)() which is the manual name with nothing else filled in, so no secret version number or date hiding down here, sorry to disappoint 🌸 stay cute, stay containerized, bye 🎀✨
