command: docker container export
short: Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive
long: |
  Export the contents of a container's filesystem using the full or shortened
  container ID or container name. The output is exported to STDOUT and can be
  redirected to a tar file.

  Stream to a file instead of STDOUT by using **-o**.

  # EXAMPLES
  Export the contents of the container called angry_bell to a tar file
  called angry_bell.tar:

      # docker export angry_bell > angry_bell.tar
      # docker export --output=angry_bell-latest.tar angry_bell
      # ls -sh angry_bell.tar
      321M angry_bell.tar
      # ls -sh angry_bell-latest.tar
      321M angry_bell-latest.tar

  # See also
  **docker-import(1)** to create an empty filesystem image
  and import the contents of the tarball into it, then optionally tag it.
