% kpod(1) kpod-attach - See the output of pid 1 of a container or enter the container

# kpod-attach "1" "September 2017" "kpod"
## NAME
kpod-attach - Attach to a running container
## Description
We chose not to implement the `attach` feature in `kpod` even though the upstream Docker
project has it. The upstream project has had lots of issues with attaching to running
processes that we did not want to replicate. The `kpod exec` and `kpod log` commands
offer you the same functionality far more dependably.
**Reasons to attach to the primary PID of a container:**
1) Executing commands inside of the container
We recommend that you use `kpod exec` to execute a command within a container
`kpod exec CONTAINERID /bin/sh`
2) Viewing the output stream of the primary process in the container
We recommend that you use `kpod logs` to see the output from the container
`kpod logs CONTAINERID`

kpod-cp - Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem.
## Description

We chose not to implement the `cp` feature in `kpod` even though the upstream Docker
project has it. We have a much stronger capability. Using standard kpod-mount
and kpod-umount, we can take advantage of the entire linux tool chain, rather
then just cp.
