How can you access logs from a specific Docker container?

To access logs from a specific Docker container, the correct command is formed using the syntax that correctly references the logging mechanism that Docker provides. The command 'docker logs [container_id]' is specifically designed for this purpose, allowing users to retrieve the logs generated by the specified container.

When using 'docker logs', it fetches the standard output and standard error streams from the container, providing insight into its runtime behavior. This is particularly useful for debugging applications running inside a container, as it allows developers and system administrators to see logs that may indicate errors or other important runtime information.

Other command choices do not achieve this specific task. For instance, 'docker view' is not a valid Docker command, and 'docker inspect' does not provide log information; instead, it returns detailed metadata about the container, such as its configuration and state. The focus and functionality of these commands differ significantly, emphasizing the importance of using 'docker logs' when accessing a container's log data.
