docker-inspect

Use the docker API to inspect each container to stdout.

Caveats:

• Docker-inspect is not atomic. It filters containers based on the filter, then loop through them to inspect.
• Docker-inspect calls docker. It needs to know the version of your running docker. You can avoid this by setting DOCKER_API_VERSION if you know the accepted version.
• When using template, it has to use the JSON function like this: {{ . | json }}.
• Using multiple template doesn't call docker multiple times. It is safe to assume that the order of datas in template1 will be the same as template2

Examples:

Inspect every container that have alpine:latest for parent and are running:

docker-inspect -filter ancestors=alpine:latest -filter status=running

You can specify multiple templates, each template would output a JSON object on one line:

docker-inspect -template '{{ .ID | JSON }}' -template '{{ .NetworkSettings | JSON }}'

Usage:
