containers...ge-metadata(1)

💖 containers-storage-metadata(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the containers-storage-metadata page, from the General Commands Manual section of your fave little corner of Unix 🫶 buckle up, this one's short and sweet but it does something real.

---

✨ NAME ✨

containers-storage-metadata — grab the metadata for a layer, an image, or a container 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage metadata [options [...]]
layerOrImageOrContainerNameOrID

like, that's the whole vibe. you give it a thing, it gives you its metadata. no cap.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this one outputs metadata that's associated with a layer, an image, or a container. that's it, that's the job 💅

And the tea on metadata itself? it's intended to be small, and it's expected to be cached in memory. so it's the low-maintenance bestie of the data world — tiny, fast, doesn't take up space in your brain. obsessed ✨

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -q | --quiet — don't print the ID or name of the item that the metadata is associated with 🙈 so you get just the metadata, no little name tag attached. main character, no introduction needed.

---

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's how the girlies do it:

containers-storage metadata -q my-image > my-image.txt

so cute, so clean. -q to skip the name, and the whole thing gets piped into my-image.txt because we love a paper trail 🎀

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• containers-storage-set-metadata(1) — the sibling page, for when you wanna set that metadata instead of just reading it 👑

ngl this page is from August 2016 — a lil vintage, a lil iconic — and it's still living under the containers...ge-metadata(1) name. periodt 💜 🦋
