docker: Analyze Docker layers from a specific image.
$ docker-slim xray --target ${image:tag}
try on your machine

The command docker-slim xray --target ${image:tag} is using the Docker Slim tool to analyze a Docker image specified by image and tag.

Let's break down the command:

  • docker-slim: This is the command to execute the Docker Slim tool.
  • xray: This is one of the commands available in Docker Slim. It performs static analysis on the target image and provides information about its structure, layers, and file system.
  • --target ${image:tag}: This flag specifies the target image to be analyzed. ${image:tag} represents the name and tag of the desired image. For example, if the image name is my-image and the tag is latest, it would be written as ${my-image:latest}. By passing this argument, Docker Slim will focus its analysis on this particular image.

Overall, this command runs the Docker Slim xray command on a specific Docker image, allowing you to gain insights about its internals and potential areas for optimization or improvement.
