**podman export** exports the filesystem of a container and saves it as a tarball
on the local machine. **podman export** writes to STDOUT by default and can be
redirected to a file using the `--output` flag.

+To export image(s) with parent layers, use **podman save**.
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
