+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman history**
+**IMAGE[:TAG|DIGEST]**
+[**--human**|**-H**]

+[**--quiet**|**-q**]
+[**--format**]
+[**--help**|**-h**]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman history** displays the history of an image by printing out information
+about each layer used in the image. The information printed out for each layer
+include Created (time and date), Created By, Size, and Comment. The output can
+be truncated or not using the **--no-trunc** flag. If the **--human** flag is
+set, the time of creation and size are printed out in a human readable format.
+The **--quiet** flag displays the ID of the image only when set and the **--format**
+flag is used to print the information using the Go template provided by the user.
+
+Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
+
+| **Placeholder** | **Description**                                                               |

+| .Created        | if **--human**, time elapsed since creation, otherwise time stamp of creation |
+| .CreatedBy      | Command used to create the layer                                              |
