The *attach* and *interactive* 13 options cannot be used to override the *--tty* and *--interactive* options from when the container 14 was created. Starting an already running container with the *--attach* option, Podman simply 15 attaches to the container. 16 17 ## OPTIONS 18 19 #### **--all** 20 21 Start all the containers, default is only running containers. 22 23 #### **--attach**, **-a** 24 25 Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR.
