You may use container IDs or names as input. The *attach* and *interactive* 13 options cannot be used to override the *--tty* and *--interactive* options from when the container 14 was created. If you attempt to start a running container with the *--attach* option, podman will simply 15 attach to the container. 16 17 ## OPTIONS 18 19 #### **--attach**, **-a** 20 21 Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when 22 starting multiple containers. 23 24 #### **--detach-keys**=*sequence* 25 26 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*. 27 28 #### **--interactive**, **-i** 29 30 Attach container's STDIN. The default is false. 31 32 #### **--latest**, **-l** 33 34 Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman 35 to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods. 36 37 The latest option is not supported on the remote client. 38 39 #### **--sig-proxy**=*true|false* 40 41 Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is *true* when attaching, *false* otherwise. 42 43 ## EXAMPLE 44 45 podman start mywebserver 46 47 podman start 860a4b231279 5421ab43b45 48 49 podman start --interactive --attach 860a4b231279 50 51 podman start -i -l 52 53 ## SEE ALSO 54 podman(1), podman-create(1) 55 56 ## HISTORY 57 November 2018, Originally compiled by Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>
