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)
