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

+
+## 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`
