podman-machine-start - Start a virtual machine
podman machine start [name]
Starts a virtual machine for Podman.
Podman on macOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel.
Only one Podman managed VM can be active at a time. If a VM is already running, podman machine start will return an error.
podman machine start starts a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
Print usage statement.
