NAME
       containers-storage import-layer - Import files to a new layer


SYNOPSIS
       containers-storage import-layer [options [...]] [parentLayerNameOrID]


DESCRIPTION
       This subcommand is a combination of containers-storage create-layer and
       containers-storage apply-diff.


       When a layer is first created with containers-storage create-layer, it
       contains no changes relative to its parent layer.  The layer can either
       be mounted read-write and its contents modified directly, or contents
       can be added (or removed) by applying a layer diff by running
       containers-storage apply-diff.


OPTIONS
       -n name


       Sets an optional name for the layer. If a name is already in use, an
       error is returned.


       -i | --id ID


       Sets the ID for the layer. If none is specified, one is generated.


       -f | --file filename


       Specifies the name of a file from which the diff should be read. If
       this option is not used, the diff is read from standard input.


       -l | --label mount-label


       Sets the label which should be assigned as an SELinux context when
       mounting the layer.


       -r | --readonly


       Mark the layer as readonly.


       -j | --json


       Prefer JSON output.


       --uidmap


       UID map specified in the format expected by subuid. It cannot be
       specified simultaneously with --hostuidmap.


       --gidmap


       GID map specified in the format expected by subgid. It cannot be
       specified simultaneously with --hostuidmap.


       --hostuidmap


       Force host UID map. It cannot be specified simultaneously with neither
       --uidmap nor --subuidmap.


       --hostgidmap


       Force host GID map. It cannot be specified simultaneously with neither
       --gidmap nor --subgidmap.


       --subuidmap username


       Create UID map for username using the data from /etc/subuid. It cannot
       be specified simultaneously with --hostuidmap.


       --subgidmap group-name


       Create GID map for group-name using the data from /etc/subgid. It
       cannot be specified simultaneously with --hostuidmap.
