+## NAME
+podman\-logs - Display the logs of one or more containers
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman logs** [*options*] *container* [*container...*]
+
+**podman container logs** [*options*] *container* [*container...*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+The podman logs command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present for one or more containers at the time of execution.
+This does not guarantee execution order when combined with podman run (i.e. your run may not have generated
+any logs at the time you execute podman logs
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--follow**, **-f**
+
+Follow log output. Default is false.
+
+Note: If you are following a container which is removed `podman container rm`
+or removed on exit `podman run --rm ...`, then there is a chance the the log
+file will be removed before `podman logs` reads the final content.
+
+**--latest**, **-l**
+
+Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
+to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
+
+The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
+
+**--since**=*TIMESTAMP*
+
+Show logs since TIMESTAMP. The --since option can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration
+strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the client machine's time. Supported formats for date formatted
+time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00,
+and 2006-01-02.
+
+**--tail**=*LINES*
+
+Output the specified number of LINES at the end of the logs. LINES must be a positive integer. Defaults to 0,
+which prints all lines
+
+**--timestamps**, **-t**
+
+Show timestamps in the log outputs. The default is false
+
+## EXAMPLE
+
+To view a container's logs:
+```
+podman logs -t b3f2436bdb978c1d33b1387afb5d7ba7e3243ed2ce908db431ac0069da86cb45

+To view a containers logs since a certain time:
+```
+podman logs -t --since 2017-08-07T10:10:09.055837383-04:00 myserver

+podman logs --since 10m myserver
