    Man pages for subcommands are often provided at hyphenated names. The man page for any git foo command can be found at man git-foo. Commented May 19 at 7:41
  • That message seems to suggest I should call a command podman-compose - no, it suggest that you read page 1 of the podman-compose man page. If the package is installed, you usually do that by running man 1 podman-compose. Of course, nowadays you don't actually need to have it installed, you can usually just search the internet for man podman-compose to find it. The relevant part of the man page has already been quoted in a comment in the answer. Commented May 19 at 12:44
  • @FeRD That explains part of my confusion. The message’s use of “podman‑compose” refers to the man-page-oriented hyphenated version of the command podman compose rather than the podman‑compose project proposed as another external Compose provider to replace the currently-used Docker Compose. That is an unfortunate collision in naming. Thank you for pointing it out! Commented May 20 at 19:01
