% podman-image-mount(1)

## NAME
podman\-image\-mount - Mount an image's root filesystem

## SYNOPSIS
**podman image mount** [*options*] [*image* ...]

## DESCRIPTION
Mounts the specified images' root file system in a location which can be
accessed from the host, and returns its location.

If you execute the command without any arguments, Podman will list all of the
currently mounted images.

Rootless mode only supports mounting VFS driver, unless you enter the user namespace
via the `podman unshare` command. All other storage drivers will fail to mount.

## RETURN VALUE
The location of the mounted file system.  On error an empty string and errno is
returned.

## OPTIONS

#### **\-\-all**, **-a**

Mount all images.

#### **\-\-format**=*format*

Print the mounted images in specified format (json).
