# SYNOPSIS
**podman pod exists**
[**-h**|**--help**]
POD

# DESCRIPTION
**podman pod exists** checks if a pod exists in local storage. The **ID** or **Name**
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 ##

Check if a pod called `web` exists in local storage (the pod does actually exist).
```
$ sudo podman pod exists web
$ echo $?
0
$
```

Check if a pod called `backend` exists in local storage (the pod does not actually exist).

$ sudo podman pod exists backend
$ echo $?
