--all
Start all the containers, default is only running containers.
--attach,-a
Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when starting
multiple containers.
--detach-keys=sequence
Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or one or more
ctrl-<value> characters where <value> is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _. Specifying "" disables this
feature. The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q.
This option can also be set in containers.conf(5) file.
--filter,-f
Filter what containers are going to be started from the given arguments. Multiple filters can be given
with multiple uses of the --filter flag. Filters with the same key work inclusive with the only
exception being label which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive.
Valid filters are listed below:
┌──────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┐

--interactive,-i
When set to true, make stdin available to the contained process. If false, the stdin of the contained
process is empty and immediately closed.
If attached, stdin is piped to the contained process. If detached, reading stdin will block until later
attached.
Caveat: Podman will consume input from stdin as soon as it becomes available, even if the contained
process doesn't request it.
--latest,-l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. Note: the last started
container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the
remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--sig-proxy
Proxy received signals to the container process. SIGCHLD, SIGURG, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied.
The default is true when attaching, false otherwise.
