 Most commands refer to container images, using a _transport_`:`_details_ format. The following formats are supported:
 
-  **atomic:**_namespace_**/**_stream_**:**_tag_
-  An image in the current project of the current default Atomic
-  Registry. The current project and Atomic Registry instance are by
-  default read from `$HOME/.kube/config`, which is set e.g. using
-  `(oc login)`.
+  **atomic:**_hostname_**/**_namespace_**/**_stream_**:**_tag_
+  An image served by an OpenShift(Atomic) Registry server. The current OpenShift project and OpenShift Registry instance are by default read from `$HOME/.kube/config`, which is set e.g. using `(oc login)`.
+
+  **containers-storage://**_docker-reference_
+  An image located in a local containers/storage image store.  Location and image store specified in /etc/containers/storage.conf
 
   **dir:**_path_
-  An existing local directory _path_ storing the manifest, layer
-  tarballs and signatures as individual files. This is a
-  non-standardized format, primarily useful for debugging or
-  noninvasive container inspection.
