Podman's `logs` command supports `--since` and `--until` to bound the time range of log retrieval, but only offers tail‑based pagination via `--tail`; offset pagination is not available.
When logs grow beyond the container’s buffer or are rotated, the continuous stream makes it difficult to inspect historic entries or to limit the amount of data read, especially for large time‑bounded queries.
- Can Podman provide offset‑based pagination for log streams?
- Does the `--tail` option respect log rotation boundaries?
- Is there a mechanism to cap the data volume read when using time‑bounded filters?
