Usage: docker volume inspect [OPTIONS] VOLUME [VOLUME...]

Inspect one or more volumes

  -f, --format=       Format the output using the given go template.
  --help              Print usage

Returns information about a volume. By default, this command renders all results in a JSON array. You can specify an alternate format to execute a given template for each result. Go’s text/template package describes all the details of the format.

Example output:

$ docker volume create
