+## CONMON
+
+When Podman starts a container it actually executes the conmon program, which
+then executes the OCI Runtime. Conmon is the container monitor. It is a small
+program whose job is to watch the primary process of the container, and if the
+container dies, save the exit code. It also holds open the tty of the
+container, so that it can be attached to later. This is what allows Podman to
+run in detached mode (backgrounded), so Podman can exit but conmon continues to
+run. Each container has their own instance of conmon. Conmon waits for the
+container to exit, gathers and saves the exit code, and then launches a Podman
+process to complete the container cleanup, by shutting down the network and
+storage. For more information on conmon, please reference the conmon(8) man
+page.
