The docker inspect command is designed to return low-level information on Docker objects. Providing a container ID or name as an argument will give a detailed report about the container, which includes its configuration and state among other data. This information is crucial for both troubleshooting and understanding the operational aspects of a Docker container. The docker status command does not exist, and while docker list and docker info are similar commands, they do not provide the level of detail that docker inspect does.
