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/main/docs/containers.conf.5.md⟩ for more information.

OPTIONS

  --detach-keys=sequence
Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or one or more ctrl-<value> characters where <value> is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _. Specifying "" disables this feature. The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q.

This option can also be set in containers.conf(5) file.

  --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)

  --no-stdin
Do not attach STDIN. The default is false.

  --sig-proxy
Proxy received signals to the container process. SIGCHLD, SIGURG, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied.

The default is true.

EXAMPLES
Attach to a container called "foobar".
    $ podman attach foobar

Attach to the latest created container. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
    $ podman attach --latest

Attach to a container that start with the ID "1234".
    $ podman attach 1234

Attach to a container without attaching STDIN.
