% podman-inspect(1)

NAME

podman-inspect - Display a container or image’s configuration

SYNOPSIS

podman inspect [options] name […]

podman image inspect [options] image

podman container inspect [options] container

DESCRIPTION

This displays the low-level information on containers and images identified by name or ID. By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If the container and image have the same name, this will return container JSON for unspecified type. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.

OPTIONS

–type, -t=type

Return JSON for the specified type. Type can be ‘container’, ‘image’ or ‘all’ (default: all) (Only meaningful when invoked as podman inspect)

–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. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client or when invoked as podman image inspect.

–size, -s

Display the total file size if the type is a container
