    turns out the answer is yes, the particular field is .HostConfig.AutoRemove, so for example:

    docker inspect --format='{{.HostConfig.AutoRemove}}' $id

    The command provided by @Dave Ankin will output either true or false. If it’s true, the container will be automatically removed on exit. If it’s false, the container will not be automatically removed.
