## NAME
podman\-container\-inspect - Display a container's configuration

## SYNOPSIS
**podman container inspect** [*options*] *container* [*container* ...]

all results in a JSON array. If a format is specified, the given template is executed for each result.

## OPTIONS

#### **--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).

Inspect the specified container for the Image Name it is based on.
```
$ podman container inspect nervous_fermi --format "{{.ImageName}}"
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8:latest
```

Inspect the specified container for the GraphDriver Name it is running with.
```
$ podman container inspect foobar --format "{{.GraphDriver.Name}}"
