+## NAME
+podman-pod-exists - Check if a pod exists in local storage
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman pod exists** *pod*
+
+## DESCRIPTION

+of the pod may be used as input.  Podman will return an exit code
+of `0` when the pod is found.  A `1` will be returned otherwise. An exit code of `125` indicates there
+was an issue accessing the local storage.

+## Examples ##

+$ echo $?
