-    Usage: docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
-
-    Run a command in an existing container
-
-      -d, --detach=false         Detached mode: run the process in the background and exit

-The `docker exec` command runs a user specified command as a new process in an existing
-user specified container. The container needs to be active.
-
-The `docker exec` command will typically be used after `docker run`.
-
-### Examples:
-
-    $ sudo docker run --name ubuntu_bash --rm -i -t ubuntu bash
-
-This will create a container named 'ubuntu_bash' and start a bash session.
-
-    $ sudo docker exec -d ubuntu_bash touch /tmp/execWorks
-
-This will create a new file '/tmp/execWorks' inside the existing and active container
-'ubuntu_bash', in the background.
-
-    $ sudo docker exec ubuntu_bash -it bash
-
-This will create a new bash session in the container 'ubuntu_bash'.
