+## NAME
+podman-image-sign - Create a signature for an image
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman image sign** [*options*] *image* [*image* ...]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman image sign** will create a local signature for one or more local images that have
+been pulled from a registry. The signature will be written to a directory
+derived from the registry configuration files in /etc/containers/registries.d. By default, the signature will be written into /var/lib/containers/sigstore directory.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--help**, **-h**
+
+Print usage statement.
+
+**--cert-dir**=*path*
+
+Use certificates at *path* (\*.crt, \*.cert, \*.key) to connect to the registry.
+Default certificates directory is _/etc/containers/certs.d_. (Not available for remote commands)
+
+**--directory**, **-d**=*dir*
+
+Store the signatures in the specified directory. Default: /var/lib/containers/sigstore
+
+**--sign-by**=*identity*
+
+Override the default identity of the signature.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+Sign the busybox image with the identify of foo@bar.com with a user's keyring and save the signature in /tmp/signatures/.
+
+ sudo podman image sign --sign-by foo@bar.com --directory /tmp/signatures docker://privateregistry.example.com/foobar
+
+## RELATED CONFIGURATION
+
+The write (and read) location for signatures is defined in YAML-based
+configuration files in /etc/containers/registries.d/. When you sign
+an image, Podman will use those configuration files to determine
+where to write the signature based on the the name of the originating
+registry or a default storage value unless overriden with the --directory
+option. For example, consider the following configuration file.
+
+docker:
+ privateregistry.example.com:
+ sigstore: file:///var/lib/containers/sigstore
+
+When signing an image preceded with the registry name 'privateregistry.example.com',
+the signature will be written into sub-directories of
+/var/lib/containers/sigstore/privateregistry.example.com. The use of 'sigstore' also means
+the signature will be 'read' from that same location on a pull-related function.
