docs: generate markdown
Keep frontmatter for docker, dockerd and index markdown files.
Also needs to move cli.md > docker.md before generation and
then move it back because cli.md is needed for yaml generation on docs

export

Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive

Aliases

docker container export, docker export

Options

Name Type Default Description
-o, --output string Write to a file, instead of STDOUT

Description

The docker export command does not export the contents of volumes associated with the container. If a volume is mounted on top of an existing directory in the container, docker export will export the contents of the underlying directory, not the contents of the volume.

Refer to Backup, restore, or migrate data volumes in the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.

Examples

Each of these commands has the same result.

$ docker export red_panda > latest.tar
$ docker export --output="latest.tar" red_panda
