# OCI manifest

> Tag 0: the client asks the server for the manifest of an image the server holds for it, by digest; the server answers with at most one channel response, the media type and the bytes, and the channel response finish; a finish with nothing before it states that the server does not hold the digest for the client.

Canonical: https://protocol.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/images-oci/client/oci-manifest/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The client opens this channel to pull a manifest the server holds for
it: the manifest the digest names, including the manifest of a
platform an index names.

- **The request.** The tag byte `0` followed by the digest as JSON.
  [Request](/2.3.0/endpoints/images-oci/client/oci-manifest/request/) states its form.
- **The response.** At most one channel response, the media type and
  the manifest verbatim, and the channel response finish.
  [Response](/2.3.0/endpoints/images-oci/client/oci-manifest/response/) states the sequence.
- **Held for the client.** The server answers the manifest only of
  an image it holds for the client, as [images::oci](/2.3.0/endpoints/images-oci/)
  states. A digest it does not hold for the client is answered with
  the channel response finish and nothing before it.
