NAME¶
podman-inspect - Display a container, image, volume, network, or pod's configuration
SYNOPSIS¶
podman inspect [options] name [...]
DESCRIPTION¶
This displays the low-level information on containers and images
identified by name or ID. By default, this renders all results in a JSON
array. If the inspect type is all, the order of inspection is: containers,
images, volumes, network, pods.
If a container has the same name as an image, then the container JSON is
returned, and so on.
If a format is specified, the given template is executed for each result.
For more inspection options, see also podman-container-inspect(1), podman-image-inspect(1), podman-network-inspect(1), podman-pod-inspect(1), and podman-volume-inspect(1).
OPTIONS¶
--format, -f=format¶
Format the output using the given Go template. The keys of the returned JSON can be used as the values for the --format flag (see examples below).
--latest, -l¶
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--size, -s¶
In addition to normal output, display the total file size if the type is a container.
--type, -t=type¶
Return JSON for the specified type. Type can be 'container', 'image', 'volume', 'network', 'pod', or 'all' (default: all) (Only meaningful when invoked as podman inspect)
EXAMPLE¶
Inspect the fedora image:
# podman inspect fedora [
