# inspect
```markdown
Usage: docker inspect [OPTIONS] CONTAINER|IMAGE|TASK [CONTAINER|IMAGE|TASK...]
Return low-level information on a container, image or task
-f, --format Format the output using the given go template
--help Print usage
-s, --size Display total file sizes if the type is container
values are "image" or "container" or "task
--type Return JSON for specified type, (e.g image, container or task)
```
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.
Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
describes all the details of the format.
## Examples
**Get an instance's IP address:**
For the most part, you can pick out any field from the JSON in a fairly
straightforward manner.
$ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**Get an instance's MAC address:**
For the most part, you can pick out any field from the JSON in a fairly
straightforward manner.
$ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.MacAddress}}{{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**Get an instance's log path:**
$ docker inspect --format='{{.LogPath}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**Get a Task's image name:**
$ docker inspect --format='{{.Container.Spec.Image}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**List all port bindings:**
One can loop over arrays and maps in the results to produce simple text
output:
$ docker inspect --format='{{range $p, $conf := .NetworkSettings.Ports}} {{$p}} -> {{(index $conf 0).HostPort}} {{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**Find a specific port mapping:**
The `.Field` syntax doesn't work when the field name begins with a
number, but the template language's `index` function does. The
`.NetworkSettings.Ports` section contains a map of the internal port
mappings to a list of external address/port objects. To grab just the
numeric public port, you use `index` to find the specific port map, and
then `index` 0 contains the first object inside of that. Then we ask for
the `HostPort` field to get the public address.
$ docker inspect --format='{{(index (index .NetworkSettings.Ports "8787/tcp") 0).HostPort}}' $INSTANCE_ID
**Get a subsection in JSON format:**
If you request a field which is itself a structure containing other
fields, by default you get a Go-style dump of the inner values.
Docker adds a template function, `json`, which can be applied to get
results in JSON format.
$ docker inspect --format='{{json .Config}}' $INSTANCE_ID
