podman-images:tldr:836b3

The command podman images "${select}" is a command used in the Podman container engine.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

• podman is the executable command for interacting with Podman. It is similar to Docker and allows you to manage containers and container images.

• images is a Podman command that lists the available images on the system.

• "${select}" is a parameter that is passed to the command. It is enclosed in double quotes "${...}" to preserve any special characters or white spaces in the value. This parameter is used to filter the images listed based on a specific criteria or pattern. The exact behavior of the filtering depends on the value of ${select}.

For example, if ${select} is set to a specific image name like "my-image", the command podman images "my-image" will list only the images that match the name "my-image". If ${select} is a regular expression like "^my-.*", it will list all the images with names starting with "my-".

Overall, the command podman images "${select}" is used to list container images on the system, applying a filter based on the value of ${select}.
