 # NAME
 docker-network-inspect - inspect a network
 
 # SYNOPSIS

 **docker network inspect**

 [**-f**|**--format**[=*FORMAT*]]

 [**--help**]

 NETWORK [NETWORK...]

 
 # DESCRIPTION
 

 Returns information about one or more networks. By default, this command renders all results in a JSON object. For example, if you connect two containers to the default `bridge` network:

 
 ```bash
 $ sudo docker run -itd --name=container1 busybox
 f2870c98fd504370fb86e59f32cd0753b1ac9b69b7d80566ffc7192a82b3ed27
 
 $ sudo docker run -itd --name=container2 busybox
 bda12f8922785d1f160be70736f26c1e331ab8aaf8ed8d56728508f2e2fd4727
 ```
 

 The `network inspect` command shows the containers, by id, in its
 results. You can specify an alternate format to execute a given
 template for each result. Go's
 [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
 describes all the details of the format.

 
 ```bash
 $ sudo docker network inspect bridge
