* `--oci-dir <DIR>` can point to a local image in OCI directory format
* `--output <OUTPUT FILE>` allows to store the generated SBOM in a local file
* `--include-cves` will include all detected CVEs in generated output

### `docker-index cve`

To detect base images for local or remote images, use the following command:

```shell
$ docker-index cve --image <IMAGE> CVE_ID 
```

* `--image <IMAGE>` can either be a local image id or fully qualified image name from a remote registry
* `--oci-dir <DIR>` can point to a local image in OCI directory format
