💖 containers...-image-data(1) — bestie edition 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

containers-storage-get-image-data — retrieve lookaside data for an image

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage get-image-data [options [...]] imageNameOrID dataName

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so picture this: an image has little named side-notes attached to it — lookaside data — and this command? It goes and grabs one piece of named data that's associated with an image. That's it. That's the whole job. You ask for a data name, it hands you the data. no cap. 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f | --file file — instead of yeeting the data at stdout like a normal person, it writes the data to a file. obsessed with a clean redirect fr fr.

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

containers-storage get-image-data -f manifest.json my-image manifest

so here we're pulling the data named manifest off the image my-image, and instead of dumping it at the terminal it lands in manifest.json. slay. ✨
