docker: Load a Docker image from `stdin`.
$ docker load < ${path-to-image_file-tar}
try on your machine

The command "docker load" is used to load an image into Docker from a tarball file.

In the given command, the "<" symbol is used for input redirection in the command line. It instructs Docker to load an image from the tar file specified by the path-to-image_file-tar.

The "${path-to-image_file-tar}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the tarball file that contains the Docker image. For example, if the tar file is located at "/home/user/images/myimage.tar", the command would be:

docker load < /home/user/images/myimage.tar

Executing this command will result in Docker loading the image contained in the tarball file and making it available to use in Docker.
