SYNOPSIS
buildah logout [options] registry

cached credentials stored in the auth.json file. The path of the authen-
tication file can be overridden by the user by setting the authfile
flag. The default path used is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json.
See containers-auth.json(5) for more information. All the cached cre-
dentials can be removed by setting the all flag.
