Matthew Heon be4f4599a6 Update documentation noting that SIGCHLD is not proxied.
Docker's --sig-proxy option sends all signals but one to a container. The
exception s SIGCHLD, which is deliberately ignored as it doesn't make sense to
send such a signal to a process in a container. Documentation updates will make
this less confusing if anyone does attempt to do this.

NAME

docker-attach - Attach to a running container

SYNOPSIS

docker attach --no-stdin[=false] --sig-proxy[=true] CONTAINER

DESCRIPTION

If you docker run a container in detached mode (-d), you can reattach to the detached container with docker attach using the container's ID or name.

You can detach from the container again (and leave it running) with CTRL-q CTRL-q (for a quiet exit), or CTRL-c which will send a SIGKILL to the container, or CTRL-\ to get a stacktrace of the Docker client when it quits. When you detach from a container the exit code will be returned to the client.

OPTIONS

--no-stdin=true|false When set to true, do not attach to stdin. The default is false.

--sig-proxy=true|false: When set to true, proxify received signals to the process (even in non-tty mode). SIGCHLD is not proxied. The default is true.

EXAMPLES

Attaching to a container

In this example the top command is run inside a container, from an image called fedora, in detached mode. The ID from the container is passed into the docker attach command:

# ID=$(sudo docker run -d fedora /usr/bin/top -b)
# sudo docker attach $ID
