You can also specify a name for the image if the archive does not contain a named reference, of if you want an additional name for the local image.
+The local client further supports loading an **oci-dir** or a **docker-dir** as created with **podman save** (1).

The **quiet** option suppresses the progress output when set.

option tells Podman that two containers share the volume content. As a result,
podman labels the content with a shared content label. Shared volume labels allow
all containers to read/write content.
