.SH NAME
.PP
docker\-inspect \- Return low\-level information on Docker objects


.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBdocker inspect [OPTIONS] NAME|ID [NAME|ID...]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This displays the low\-level information on Docker object(s) (e.g. container,
image, volume,network, node, service, or task) 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.


.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
Get information about an image when image name conflicts with the container name,
e.g. both image and container are named rhel7:

.PP
.RS

.nf
$ docker inspect \-\-type=image rhel7
