## NAME
podman-container-exists - Check if a container exists in local storage
## SYNOPSIS

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