Description
Issue Description
On https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html under the section Options specific to bind and glob: there is the text
idmap: true or false (default if unspecified: false). If true, create an idmapped mount to the target user namespace in the container.
Here is the relevant markdown source:
The behaviour of podman run does not match the documentation. Instead podman run shows this behaviour
| option | parsing result |
|---|---|
idmap |
success |
idmap=true |
failure |

The following output is printedbash test.bash idmap=trueError: unknown option "true" - Run command
The following output is printedbash test.bash idmap-rw-r--r--. 1 1000 1000 0 Oct 12 21:09 /tmp/tmp.dRdruZ0jI3/file
Describe the results you received
Step 3 fails.
Describe the results you expected
I would have expected Step 3 to succeed and print something similar to what is printed in Step 4.
