NAME

       docker-exec - Run a command in a running container

SYNOPSIS

       docker   exec  [-d|--detach[=false]]  [--help]  [-i|--interactive[=false]]  [-t|--tty[=false]]  CONTAINER
       COMMAND [ARG...]

DESCRIPTION

       Run a process in a running container.

       The command started using docker exec will only run while the container's  primary  process  (PID  1)  is
       running, and will not be restarted if the container is restarted.

       If  the  container is paused, then the docker exec command will wait until the container is unpaused, and
       then run

OPTIONS

       -d, --detach=true|false
          Detached mode: run command in the background. The default is false.

       --help
         Print usage statement

       -i, --interactive=true|false
          Keep STDIN open even if not attached. The default is false.

       -t, --tty=true|false
          Allocate a pseudo-TTY. The default is false.

       The -t option is incompatible with a redirection of the docker client standard input.
