## NAME
podman wait - Waits on one or more containers to stop and prints exit code

## SYNOPSIS
**podman wait**
[**--help**|**-h**]

## DESCRIPTION
Waits on one or more containers to stop.  The container can be referred to by its
name or ID.  In the case of multiple containers, podman will wait on each consecutively.
After the container stops, the container's return code is printed.

**podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS] wait **

## GLOBAL OPTIONS

**--help, -h**
  Print usage statement

**--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.
