+% podman(1) podman - Simple management tool for pods and images
+% Dan Walsh
+# podman "1" "September 2016" "podman"
+## NAME
+podman - Simple management tool for containers and images
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman** [*options*] COMMAND
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+podman is a simple client only tool to help with debugging issues when daemons
+such as CRI runtime and the kubelet are not responding or failing. A shared API
+layer could be created to share code between the daemon and podman. podman does not
+require any daemon running. podman utilizes the same underlying components that
+crio uses i.e. containers/image, container/storage, oci-runtime-tool/generate,
+runc or any other OCI compatible runtime. podman shares state with crio and so
+has the capability to debug pods/images created by crio.
