W. Trevor King f2462ca59e docs: Follow man-pages(7) suggestions for SYNOPSIS
man-pages(7) has [1]:

> For commands, this shows the syntax of the command and its arguments
> (including options); boldface is used for as-is text and italics are
> used to indicate replaceable arguments. Brackets ([]) surround
> optional arguments, vertical bars (|) separate choices, and ellipses
> (...) can be repeated.

I've adjusted our SYNOPSIS entries to match that formatting, and
generally tried to make them more consistent with the precedent set by
the man-pages project.  Outside of the SYNOPSIS entry, I prefer using
backticks for literals, although in some places I've left the **
bolding to keep things visually similar to a nearby SYNOPSIS entry.

NAME

podman-wait - Waits on one or more containers to stop and prints exit code

SYNOPSIS

podman wait [options] container

DESCRIPTION

Waits on one or more containers to stop. The container can be referred to by its name or ID. In the case of multiple containers, podman will wait on each consecutively. After the container stops, the container's return code is printed.

OPTIONS

--help, -h

Print usage statement

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

EXAMPLES

podman wait mywebserver

podman wait --latest

podman wait 860a4b23

podman wait mywebserver myftpserver
