--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.
