command: docker scout sbom
short: Generate or display SBOM of an image
long: |-
    The `docker scout sbom` command analyzes a software artifact to generate a
    Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM).

    The SBOM contains a list of all packages in the image.
    You can use the `--format` flag to filter the output of the command
    to display only packages of a specific type.

    If no image is specified, the most recently built image is used.

    The following artifact types are supported:

    - Images
    - OCI layout directories
    - Tarball archives, as created by `docker save`
    - Local directory or file

    By default, the tool expects an image reference, such as:

    - `redis`
    - `curlimages/curl:7.87.0`
    - `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:7.0`

    If the artifact you want to analyze is an OCI directory, a tarball archive, a local file or directory,
    or if you want to control from where the image will be resolved, you must prefix the reference with one of the following:

    - `image://` (default) use a local image, or fall back to a registry lookup
    - `local://` use an image from the local image store (don't do a registry lookup)
    - `registry://` use an image from a registry (don't use a local image)
    - `oci-dir://` use an OCI layout directory
    - `archive://` use a tarball archive, as created by `docker save`
    - `fs://` use a local directory or file
