% podman-attach 1 ## NAME podman\-attach - Attach to a running container ## SYNOPSIS **podman attach** [*options*] *container* **podman container attach** [*options*] *container* ## DESCRIPTION **podman attach** attaches to a running *container* using the *container's name* or *ID*, to either view its ongoing output or to control it interactively.\ The *container* can be detached from (and leave it running) using a configurable key sequence. The default sequence is `ctrl-p,ctrl-q`. Configure the keys sequence using the **--detach-keys** OPTION, or specifying it in the `containers.conf` file: see **[containers.conf(5)](https://github.com/containers/common/blob/master/docs/containers.conf.5.md)** for more information. ## OPTIONS [//]: # (BEGIN included file options/detach-keys.md) #### **--detach-keys**=*sequence* Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character `[a-Z]` or one or more `ctrl-` characters where `` is one of: `a-z`, `@`, `^`, `[`, `,` or `_`. Specifying "" will disable this feature. The default is *ctrl-p,ctrl-q*. This option can also be set in **containers.conf**(5) file. [//]: # (END included file options/detach-keys.md) #### **--latest**, **-l** Instead of providing the *container ID* or *name*, use the last created *container*. If other methods than Podman are used to run *containers* such as `CRI-O`, the last started *container* could be from either of those methods.\ The default is **false**.\ *IMPORTANT: This OPTION is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines. This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.* #### **--no-stdin** Do not attach STDIN. The default is **false**. [//]: # (BEGIN included file options/sig-proxy.md) #### **--sig-proxy** Proxy received signals to the container process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. [//]: # (END included file options/sig-proxy.md) The default is **true**. ## EXAMPLES Attach to a container called "foobar". ``` $ podman attach foobar ``` Attach to the latest created container. ``` $ podman attach --latest ``` Attach to a container that start with the ID "1234". ``` $ podman attach 1234 ``` Attach to a container without attaching STDIN. ``` $ podman attach --no-stdin foobar ``` ## SEE ALSO **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-exec(1)](podman-exec.1.md)**, **[podman-run(1)](podman-run.1.md)**, **[containers.conf(5)](https://github.com/containers/common/blob/master/docs/containers.conf.5.md)**
