podman container attach [options] container
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 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) for more information.
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 "" will disable this feature.
The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q
.
Instead of providing the container ID or name, use the last created container. If other methods than Podman are used to run containers such as CRI-O
, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
The default is false.
