Set names for a layer/image/container

Usage

containers-storage set-names [-n name []] layerOrImageOrContainerNameOrID

Overview

In addition to IDs, layers, images, and containers can have human-readable names assigned to them in containers-storage. The set-names command can be used to reset the list of names for any of them.

Options

-n | --name name

Specifies a name to set on the layer, image, or container. If a specified name is already used by another layer, image, or container, it is removed from that other layer, image, or container. Any names which are currently assigned to this layer, image, or container, and which are not specified using this option, will be removed from the layer, image, or container.
