umoci-stat - Man Page

Display status information about an image tag

Aleksa Sarai OCTOBER 2025

Synopsis

umoci stat --image=image[:tag] [--json]

Description

Generates various pieces of status information about an image tag, including the history of the image.

WARNING: Do not depend on the output of this tool. Previously we recommended the use of --json as the "stable" interface but this interface will be reworked in future.

Options

The global options are defined in umoci(1).

--image=image[:tag]

The OCI image tag to display information about. image must be a path to a
 valid OCI image and tag must be a valid tag in the image. If tag is not
 provided it defaults to "latest".

--json

Output the status information as a JSON encoded blob.

Format

The format of the --json blob is as follows. Many of these fields come from the OCI image specification ⟨https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec⟩.

{
  # This is the manifest blob of the image.
  "manifest": {
    "descriptor": <descriptor of manifest blob>,
    "blob": <raw manifest blob>
  },

  # This is the configuration blob of the image.
  "config": {
    "descriptor": <descriptor of config blob>,
    "blob": <raw config blob>
  },

  # This is the set of history entries for the image.
  "history": [
    {
      "layer":       <descriptor>, # null if empty_layer is true
      "diff_id":     <diffid>,
      "created":     <created>,
      "created_by":  <created_by>,
      "author":      <author>,
      "empty_layer": <empty_layer>
    }...
  ]
}

In future versions of umoci(1) there may be extra fields added to the above structure. However, the currently defined fields will always be set (until a backwards-incompatible release is made).

Example

The following gets information about an image downloaded from a docker(1) registry using skopeo(1).

% skopeo copy docker://registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/tumbleweed:latest oci:image:latest
