% podman-container-inspect(1)

## NAME
podman\-container\-inspect - Display a container's configuration

## SYNOPSIS
**podman container inspect** [*options*] *container* [*container* ...]

## DESCRIPTION

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

## 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. 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.

(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.


## EXAMPLE

```
$ podman container inspect foobar
