podman-rmi: Remove one or more images given their names.
$ podman rmi ${image:tag} ${image2:tag} ${---}
try on your machine

The command "podman rmi" is used to remove one or more images from the local image store.

In this specific command, the arguments are "${image:tag}", "${image2:tag}", and "${---}". The syntax "${var}" represents a variable in a shell script.

So, this command is attempting to remove the container images specified by "${image:tag}", "${image2:tag}", and "${---}". However, without knowing the actual values of these variables, it is difficult to provide specific details.

Typically, the "image:tag" format refers to the name and tag of an image. For example, "nginx:latest" refers to the image named "nginx" with the tag "latest". The command will attempt to remove these images from the local image store.

The "${---}" argument is not a valid format for specifying an image and is likely a mistake or placeholder value. It should be replaced with the correct image name and tag.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
