  ### Inspect a secret by name or ID

  You can inspect a secret, either by its *name*, or *ID*

  For example, given the following secret:

  ```bash
  $ docker secret ls
  ID                          NAME                    CREATED                                   UPDATED
  mhv17xfe3gh6xc4rij5orpfds   secret.json             2016-10-27 23:25:43.909181089 +0000 UTC   2016-10-27 23:25:43.909181089 +0000 UTC
  ```

  ```none
  $ docker secret inspect secret.json

  [
      {
          "ID": "mhv17xfe3gh6xc4rij5orpfds",
              "Version": {
              "Index": 1198
          },
          "CreatedAt": "2016-10-27T23:25:43.909181089Z",
          "UpdatedAt": "2016-10-27T23:25:43.909181089Z",
          "Spec": {
              "Name": "secret.json"
          }
      }
  ]
  ```

  ### Formatting

  You can use the --format option to obtain specific information about a
  secret. The following example command outputs the creation time of the
  secret.

  ```bash
  $ docker secret inspect --format='{{.CreatedAt}}' mhv17xfe3gh6xc4rij5orpfds

  2016-10-27 23:25:43.909181089 +0000 UTC
  ```
