podman-inspect - Display a container or image's configuration
podman inspect [options] name [...]
podman image inspect [options] image
podman container inspect [options] container
This displays the low-level information on containers and images identified by name or ID. By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If the container and image have the same name, this will return container JSON for unspecified type. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.
--type, -t=type
Return JSON for the specified type. Type can be 'container', 'image' or 'all' (default: all) (Only meaningful when invoked as podman inspect)
--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.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client or when invoked as podman image inspect.
--size, -s
Display the total file size if the type is a container
