## NAME
podman\-exec - Execute a command in a running container
## SYNOPSIS
**podman exec** [*options*] *container* [*command* [*arg* ...]]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman exec** executes a command in a running container.
## OPTIONS
**--env**, **-e**
You may specify arbitrary environment variables that are available for the
command to be executed.
**--interactive**, **-i**
Not supported. All exec commands are interactive by default.
**--latest**, **-l**
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
**--preserve-fds**=*N*
Pass down to the process N additional file descriptors (in addition to 0, 1, 2). The total FDs will be 3+N.
**--privileged**
Give the process extended Linux capabilities when running the command in container.
**--tty**, **-t**
Allocate a pseudo-TTY.
**--user**, **-u**
Sets the username or UID used and optionally the groupname or GID for the specified command.
The following examples are all valid:
--user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]
**--workdir**, **-w**=*path*
Working directory inside the container
The default working directory for running binaries within a container is the root directory (/).
The image developer can set a different default with the WORKDIR instruction, which can be overridden
when creating the container.
## EXAMPLES
$ podman exec -it ctrID ls
$ podman exec -it -w /tmp myCtr pwd
$ podman exec --user root ctrID ls
