docker: Display information about a volume.
$ docker volume inspect ${volume_name}
try on your machine

The command "docker volume inspect ${volume_name}" is used to retrieve detailed information about a specific Docker volume. Here's how it works:

  • "docker volume" invokes the Docker command-line interface (CLI) for managing volumes.
  • "inspect" is the command used to obtain specific information about a Docker resource.
  • "${volume_name}" is a placeholder for the name or ID of the Docker volume you want to inspect. You need to replace it with the actual volume name or ID.

When you run this command, Docker will process it and provide a detailed output about the specified volume. This information typically includes the volume's name, ID, status, mount point, size, labels, driver used, and other attributes.

The "docker volume inspect" command is useful when you need to gather specific information about a Docker volume, such as its configuration, or if you want to validate or troubleshoot the volume's properties.
