.SH EXAMPLES
.SS Building a multi-arch manifest list from a Containerfile
.PP
Assuming the \fB\fCContainerfile\fR uses \fB\fCRUN\fR instructions, the host needs
a way to execute non-native binaries.  Configuring this is beyond
the scope of this example.  Building a multi-arch manifest list
\fB\fCshazam\fR in parallel across 4-threads can be done like this:

.PP
.RS

.nf
    $ platarch=linux/amd64,linux/ppc64le,linux/arm64,linux/s390x
    $ podman build --jobs=4 --platform=$platarch --manifest shazam .

.fi
.RE

.PP
\fBNote:\fP The \fB\fC--jobs\fR argument is optional, and the \fB\fC-t\fR or \fB\fC--tag\fR
option should \fInot\fP be used.

.SS Assembling a multi-arch manifest from separately built images
.PP
Assuming \fB\fCexample.com/example/shazam:$arch\fR images are built separately
on other hosts and pushed to the \fB\fCexample.com\fR registry.  They may
be combined into a manifest list, and pushed using a simple loop:

.PP
.RS

.nf
    $ REPO=example.com/example/shazam
    $ podman manifest create $REPO:latest
    $ for IMGTAG in amd64 s390x ppc64le arm64; do   
              podman manifest add $REPO:latest docker://$REPO:IMGTAG;   
          done
    $ podman manifest push --all $REPO:latest

.fi
.RE

.PP
\fBNote:\fP The \fB\fCadd\fR instruction argument order is \fB\fC<manifest>\fR then \fB\fC<image>\fR\&.
Also, the \fB\fC--all\fR push option is required to ensure all contents are
pushed, not just the native platform/arch.

.SS Removing and tagging a manifest list before pushing
.PP
Special care is needed when removing and pushing manifest lists, as opposed
to the contents.  You almost always want to use the \fB\fCmanifest rm\fR and
\fB\fCmanifest push --all\fR subcommands.  For example, a rename and push could
be performed like this:

.PP
.RS

.nf
    $ podman tag localhost/shazam example.com/example/shazam
    $ podman manifest rm localhost/shazam
    $ podman manifest push --all example.com/example/shazam
