A secret is a file that contains sensitive data, such as a password.
Let's say the docker secret ls command returns the following.
ID NAME DRIVER CREATED UPDATED
pp6d206pqk28cj12kjv36l2v7 my_secret 14 months ago 14 months ago
g6ab3l6qr9w5lt8puu3f971f5 foobar 7 months ago 7 months ago

The docker secret inspect command can be used to view a secret. In this example, the secret with ID pp6d206pqk28cj12kjv36l2v7 is inspected.
docker secret inspect pp6d206pqk28cj12kjv36l2v7
In this example, the secret named my_secret is inspected.
docker secret inspect my_secret
If the secret exists, something like this will be displayed.
{
"ID":"pp6d206pqk28cj12kjv36l2v7Â "
"Version":{
"Index":16114223
}
"CreatedAt":"2019-03-11T18:16:09.317112631Z"
"UpdatedAt":"2019-03-11T18:16:09.317112631Z"
"Spec":{
"Name":"my_secret"
"Labels":{}
}
}
If the secret does not exist, the following will be returned.
Status: Error: No such secret: my_secret, Code: 1
