NAME

       podman-rename - Rename an existing container

SYNOPSIS

       podman rename container newname

       podman container rename container newname

DESCRIPTION

       Rename  changes the name of an existing container.  The old name will be freed, and will be available for
       use.  This command can be run on containers in any state.  However,  running  containers  may  not  fully
       receive  the  effects  until  they are restarted - for example, a running container may still use the old
       name in its logs.  At present, only containers are supported; pods and volumes cannot be renamed.
