The `crane manifest` command allows users to interact with container image manifests without pulling the entire image. It provides functionalities to inspect the manifest's content, digest, and configuration, as well as push, pull, and delete manifests from registries.

This is particularly useful when dealing with multi-architecture or multi-platform images, where inspecting the manifest can reveal the supported platforms without the overhead of downloading potentially large image layers. It's also helpful for registry administration, allowing direct manipulation of manifest data. The command supports OCI (Open Container Initiative) and Docker image formats, making it a versatile tool for container image management.
