    12  # DESCRIPTION
    13  
    14  This command pulls down an image or a repository from the registry. If
    15  there is more than one image for a repository (e.g., fedora) then all
    16  images for that repository name are pulled down including any tags.
    17  It is also possible to specify a non-default registry to pull from.
    18  
    19  # OPTIONS
    20  **-a**, **--all-tags**=*true*|*false*
    21     Download all tagged images in the repository. The default is *false*.
    22  
    23  # EXAMPLES
    24  
    25  # Pull a repository with multiple images
    26  # Note that if the  image is previously downloaded then the status would be
    27  # 'Status: Image is up to date for fedora'
