6 podman-inspect - Display a container, image, volume, network, or pod's
7 configuration
8
11 podman inspect [options] name [...]
12
15 This displays the low-level information on containers and images iden‐
16 tified by name or ID. By default, this renders all results in a JSON
17 array. If the inspect type is all, the order of inspection is: contain‐
18 ers, images, volumes, network, pods.
19 If a container has the same name as an image, then the container JSON
20 is returned, and so on.
21 If a format is specified, the given template is executed for each re‐
22 sult.
23 For more inspection options, see also podman-container-inspect(1), pod‐
26 man-image-inspect(1), podman-network-inspect(1), podman-pod-inspect(1),
27 and podman-volume-inspect(1).
28
31 --format, -f=format
32 Format the output using the given Go template. The keys of the re‐
33 turned JSON can be used as the values for the --format flag (see exam‐
34 ples below).
35 --latest, -l
38 Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created
39 container. Note: the last started container can be from other users of
40 Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the re‐
41 mote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) ma‐
42 chines)
43 --size, -s
46 In addition to normal output, display the total file size if the type
47 is a container.
48 --type, -t=type
51 Return JSON for the specified type. Type can be 'container', 'image',
52 'volume', 'network', 'pod', or 'all' (default: all) (Only meaningful
53 when invoked as podman inspect)
