NAME
podman-rename - Rename an existing containerSYNOPSIS
podman rename container newname
podman container rename container newnameDESCRIPTION
Rename changes the name of an existing container. The old name is freed, and is available for use. This command can be run on containers in any state. However, running containers
may not fully receive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a running container may still use the old name in its logs. At present, only containers are supported; pods
and volumes cannot be renamed.OPTIONS EXAMPLES
