containers-storage import-layer - Import files to a new layer
containers-storage import-layer [options [...]] [parentLayerNameOrID]
This subcommand is a combination of containers-storage create-layer and containers-storage apply-diff.
When a layer is first created with containers-storage create-layer, it contains no changes relative to its parent layer. The layer can either be mounted read-write and its contents modified directly, or contents can be added (or removed) by applying a layer diff by running containers-storage apply-diff.
