Tells Podman how to handle the builtin image volumes. Default is **anonymous**.

- **anonymous**: An anonymous named volume is created and mounted into the container.
- **tmpfs**: The volume is mounted onto the container as a tmpfs, which allows the users to create
content that disappears when the container is stopped.
- **ignore**: All volumes are just ignored and no action is taken.

In the past, a **bind** option was accepted as well. This is deprecated, and currently aliased to **anonymous**.
