+## NAME
+podman\-commit - Create new image based on the changed container
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman commit** [*options*] *container* *image*
+
+**podman container commit** [*options*] *container* *image*
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman commit** creates an image based on a changed container. The author of the
+image can be set using the `--author` flag. Various image instructions can be
+configured with the `--change` flag and a commit message can be set using the
+`--message` flag. The container and its processes are paused while the image is
+committed. This minimizes the likelihood of data corruption when creating the new
+image. If this is not desired, the `--pause` flag can be set to false. When the commit
+is complete, Podman will print out the ID of the new image.
+
+If *image* does not begin with a registry name component, `localhost` will be added to the name.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--author**, **-a**=*author*

+
+**--format**, **-f**=*format*

+
+**--include-volumes**
