πŸ’– containers-storage-layers(1) β€” aka the "list known layers" page πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for containers-storage-layers πŸ’… the header literally reads containers...rage-layers(1) and honestly? iconic. the ellipsis is giving mysterious, the rage is giving relatable. but the actual command you're here for is containers-storage layers, and it's about to make your whole afternoon better 🫢

  • the IDs and names of any images which list those layers as their top layer πŸ‘‘
  • the IDs and names of any containers for which the layer serves as the container's own layer πŸ“

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. it's a receipt for every layer you've got lying around, plus who's claiming it as their fave πŸ’–


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…
