podman-images: List all Podman images including intermediates.
$ podman images --all
try on your machine

The "podman images --all" command is used to retrieve a list of all container images present on your system.

When executed, the "podman images" part of the command instructs the podman tool to display a list of container images. The "--all" option is used to include all container images, regardless of their current state (such as whether they are being used by active containers or not). By default, if you exclude the "--all" option, only the images that are not being used by any containers are shown.

So, when you run "podman images --all", you will see a list of all container images, including all the images in use and those not currently in use on your system. This information can be helpful for managing and maintaining container images, especially if you need to check the size, version, and other details of all images available.
