## NAME
podman\-attach - Attach to a running container

## SYNOPSIS
**podman attach** [*options*] *container*

## DESCRIPTION
The attach command allows you to attach to a running container using the container's ID
or name, either to view its ongoing output or to control it interactively.

You can detach from the container (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 **libpod.conf** file: see **libpod.conf(5)** for more information.

## OPTIONS
**--detach-keys**=*sequence*

Override the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character `[a-Z]` or
a comma separated sequence of `ctrl-<value>`, where `<value>` is one of:
`a-z`, `@`, `^`, `[`, `\\`, `]`, `^` or `_`.

**--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.

**--no-stdin**

Do not attach STDIN. The default is false.

**--sig-proxy**=*true*|*false*

Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is *true*.

## EXAMPLES

```
$ podman attach foobar
[root@localhost /]#
```
```
$ podman attach --latest
[root@localhost /]#
```
```
$ podman attach 1234
[root@localhost /]#
```
```
$ podman attach --no-stdin foobar
```
