+## NAME
+podman\-volume\-create - Create a new volume
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman volume create** [*options*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+Creates an empty volume and prepares it to be used by containers. The volume
+can be created with a specific name, if a name is not given a random name is
+generated. You can add metadata to the volume by using the **--label** flag and
+driver options can be set using the **--opt** flag.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--driver**=*driver*
+
+Specify the volume driver name (default local).
+
+**--help**
+
+Print usage statement
+
+**-l**, **-label**=*label*
+
+Set metadata for a volume (e.g., --label mykey=value).
+
+**-o**, **--opt**=*option*
+
+Set driver specific options.
+For the default driver, `local`, this allows a volume to be configured to mount a filesystem on the host.
+For the `local` driver the following options are supported: `type`, `device`, and `o`.
+The `type` option sets the type of the filesystem to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `-t` flag to **mount(8)**.
+The `device` option sets the device to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `device` argument to **mount(8)**.
+The `o` option sets options for the mount, and is equivalent to the `-o` flag to **mount(8)** with two exceptions.
+The `o` option supports `uid` and `gid` options to set the UID and GID of the created volume that are not normally supported by **mount(8)**.
+Using volume options with the `local` driver requires root privileges.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+```
+$ podman volume create myvol
+
+$ podman volume create
+
+$ podman volume create --label foo=bar myvol
+
+# podman volume create --opt device=tmpfs --opt type=tmpfs --opt o=nodev,noexec myvol
+
+# podman volume create --opt device=tmpfs --opt type=tmpfs --opt o=uid=1000,gid=1000 testvol
+```
