You can attach to the same contained process multiple times 19 simultaneously, screen sharing style, or quickly view the progress of your 20 detached process. 21 22 To stop a container, use `CTRL-c`. This key sequence sends `SIGKILL` to the 23 container. You can detach from the container (and leave it running) using a 24 configurable key sequence. The default sequence is `CTRL-p CTRL-q`. You 25 configure the key sequence using the **--detach-keys** option or a configuration 26 file. See **config-json(5)** for documentation on using a configuration file. 27 28 It is forbidden to redirect the standard input of a `docker attach` command while 29 attaching to a tty-enabled container (i.e.: launched with `-t`). 30 31 # OPTIONS 32 **--detach-keys**="" 33 Override the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character `[a-Z]` or `ctrl-<value>` where `<value>` is one of: `a-z`, `@`, `^`, `[`, `,` or `_`. 34 35 **--help** 36 Print usage statement 37 38 **--no-stdin**=*true*|*false* 39 Do not attach STDIN. The default is *false*. 40 41 **--sig-proxy**=*true*|*false* 42 Proxy all received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGKILL, and SIGSTOP are not proxied. The default is *true*. 43 44 # Override the detach sequence 45 46 If you want, you can configure an override the Docker key sequence for detach. 47 This is useful if the Docker default sequence conflicts with key sequence you 48 use for other applications. There are two ways to define your own detach key 49 sequence, as a per-container override or as a configuration property on your 50 entire configuration. 51 52 To override the sequence for an individual container, use the 53 `--detach-keys="<sequence>"` flag with the `docker attach` command. The format of 54 the `<sequence>` is either a letter [a-Z], or the `ctrl-` combined with any of 55 the following: 56 57 * `a-z` (a single lowercase alpha character ) 58 * `@` (at sign) 59 * `[` (left bracket) 60 * `\\` (two backward slashes) 61 * `_` (underscore) 62 * `^` (caret) 63 64 These `a`, `ctrl-a`, `X`, or `ctrl-\\` values are all examples of valid key 65 sequences. To configure a different configuration default key sequence for all 66 containers, see **docker(1)**. 67 68 # EXAMPLES 69 70 ## Attaching to a container 71 72 In this example the top command is run inside a container, from an image called 73 fedora, in detached mode. The ID from the container is passed into the **docker 74 attach** command: 75 76 # ID=$(sudo docker run -d fedora /usr/bin/top -b) 77 # sudo docker attach $ID 78 top - 02:05:52 up 3:05, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 79 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie 80 Cpu(s): 0.1%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st 81 Mem: 373572k total, 355560k used, 18012k free, 27872k buffers 82 Swap: 786428k total, 0k used, 786428k free, 221740k cached 83 84 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 85 1 root 20 0 17200 1116 912 R 0 0.3 0:00.03 top 86 87 top - 02:05:55 up 3:05, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 88 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie 89 Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st 90 Mem: 373572k total, 355244k used, 18328k free, 27872k buffers 91 Swap: 786428k total, 0k used, 786428k free, 221776k cached 92 93 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 94 1 root 20 0 17208 1144 932 R 0 0.3 0:00.03 top 95 96 # HISTORY 97 April 2014, Originally compiled by William Henry (whenry at redhat dot com) 98 based on docker.com source material and internal work. 99 June 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au>
