# Command

> Tag 7: the server relays a command the container asked to have run, its bytes verbatim; the client answers with one channel response per item the command produced, an error last, and the channel response finish, each relayed to the container.

Canonical: https://provider.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-tools-run/server/command/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The server opens this channel when the container's proxy sends a
command ask on `/requests`. The bytes of the command are relayed
verbatim.

- **The request.** The tag byte `7` followed by the bytes of the
  command. [Request](/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-tools-run/server/command/request/) states its
  form.
- **The response.** One channel response per item, an error last
  when the client sends one, and the channel response finish.
  [Response](/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-tools-run/server/command/response/) states the
  sequence.
- **The conduit.** The server relays each channel response to the
  proxy's [`/command/{channel}`](/2.3.0/proxy/command/) as one message, in
  order, and closes that connection when the channel finishes. The
  server does not read the command or an item, and does not send the
  command twice.
