🌸 apptainer(1) — the checkpoint girlie's manual 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the apptainer(1) manual page 💖 this is the corner of the docs for apptainer-checkpoint, and honestly? it's giving experimental, it's giving main character energy, and i'm gonna walk you through it line by line. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

apptainer-checkpoint — manage container checkpoint state, and yes it's experimental 🔥 (which lowkey means "she's still in her testing era", so don't come for her if she acts up).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

apptainer checkpoint

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's a command with subcommands, iykyk. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the checkpoint command literally exists so you can create and manage container checkpoint state. creating it, managing it, the whole little ecosystem 🫶 it's the entry point, the mothership, the group chat admin of the checkpoint subcommands.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help[=false] — shows you the help for checkpoint 💅 the [=false] is just the default sitting there quietly, no worries, you don't have to touch it. leave her alone, she's fine.

fr fr, that's the only flag on this page. the rest of the tea lives in the subcommands ✨

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

literally all the checkpoint commands have their own help output, so if you want the details you go knock on their doors individually 🚪🎀

$ apptainer help checkpoint create
$ apptainer checkpoint create --help

see? two whole ways to ask the same question. iconic. one's the help route, one's the --help route, and both ate. 😌
