```
Usage: exec [options] SERVICE COMMAND [ARGS...]
Options:
-d Detached mode: Run command in the background.
--privileged Give extended privileges to the process.
--user USER Run the command as this user.
-T Disable pseudo-tty allocation. By default `docker-compose exec`
allocates a TTY.
--index=index index of the container if there are multiple
instances of a service [default: 1]
```
This is equivalent of `docker exec`. With this subcommand you can run arbitrary
commands in your services. Commands are by default allocating a TTY, so you can
do e.g. `docker-compose exec web sh` to get an interactive prompt.
