podman-machine: Inspect information about a machine.
$ podman machine inspect ${name}
try on your machine

The command "podman machine inspect ${name}" is used to retrieve detailed information about a podman machine with a specific name.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "podman" is the tool used to manage containers, pods, and container images.
  • "machine" is a subcommand of podman that deals with managing podman machines, which are virtual machines used to run containers.
  • "inspect" is an option that tells podman to provide detailed information about the specified machine.
  • "${name}" is a placeholder for the name of the machine you want to inspect. You need to replace "${name}" with the actual name of the machine.

When you execute this command, podman will gather various information about the specified machine, such as the machine's ID, name, operating system, architecture, memory usage, disk usage, and network settings. It provides a detailed overview of the machine's configuration and status.
