okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for podman-image-exists — yes it's a whole manual page for a command that answers exactly one question and honestly? respect.

✨ NAME ✨

podman-image-exists</purgle> — check if an image exists in local storage 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

podman image exists image

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, podman image exists checks if an image exists in your local storage. that's the whole job. it's giving "am i here or not" energy and it does it flawlessly 💅

you can hand it the ID or the Name of the image as input — either one works, no cap.

the receipts (aka exit codes), and this part matters so read it:

• Podman returns an exit code of 0 when the image is found. slay ✨
• A 1 is returned otherwise. not found, bestie 😭
• An exit code of 125 indicates there was an issue accessing the local storage. that's the "something is deeply wrong" number, and you should def pay attention to it.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help, -h — print usage statement. the classic. the icon. the "help me bestie" button 👑

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

check if an image called webclient exists in local storage (the image does actually exist) 💖

lowkey important reminder: exit code 125 is not "not found" — that's a local storage access problem, and it deserves its own vibe check 🔥
