## DESCRIPTION
**skopeo logout** logs out of a specified registry server by deleting the cached credentials
stored in the **auth.json** file. The path of the authentication file can be overridden by the user by setting the **authfile** flag.
The default path used is **${XDG\_RUNTIME\_DIR}/containers/auth.json**.
All the cached credentials can be removed by setting the **all** flag.

Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY\_AUTH\_FILE

Instead of updating the default credentials file, update the one at *path*, and use a Docker-compatible format.
