DOCKER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

docker-context-export — bestie, this is the one that exports a context to a tar archive FILE, or just yeets a tar stream straight to STDOUT 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

docker context export [OPTIONS] CONTEXT [FILE|-]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk — this command exports a context to a tar archive FILE, or if you'd rather, it streams that tar right out to STDOUT. that's the whole vibe. no cap, that's it 🎀

the <pink>CONTEXT</pink> is the context you're shipping out, and the <purple>FILE</purple> slot is where it lands — unless you hand it a <cyan>-</cyan>, in which case it's giving tar stream on STDOUT energy instead 🌈

heads up bestie: the synopsis shows <yellow>[OPTIONS]</yellow>, and the page itself doesn't spell out which ones — so don't let anyone tell you it did 🙈
