Here is the man page source code of /usr/share/man/man1/docker-attach.1.gz:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  .PP
  To override the sequence for an individual container, use the
  \fB\fC\-\-detach\-keys="<sequence>"\fR flag with the \fB\fCdocker
attach\fR command. The format of
  the \fB\fC<sequence>\fR is either a letter [a\-Z], or the \fB\fCctrl\-\fR
combined with any of
  the following:
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fCa\-z\fR (a single lowercase alpha character )
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fC@\fR (ampersand)
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fC[\fR (left bracket)
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fC\\\\\fR (two backward slashes)
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fC\_\fR (underscore)
  .IP \(bu 2
  \fB\fC^\fR (caret)
#+END_EXAMPLE

I live in timezone UTC+8. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your
patience.
