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 con-
figurable 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) 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 con-
tainer. Note: the last started container can be from other users of
Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the re-
mote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--no-stdin
Do not attach STDIN. The default is false.
--sig-proxy

SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied.
The default is true.
