<p>Ie, if I do:</p>
<pre><code>$ docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' base-hostSrcNv
</code></pre>
<p>I might get:</p>
<pre><code>[{bind  /dir/in/container /dir/on/host   true }]
</code></pre>
<p>The meaning of <code>/dir/in/container</code> and <code>/dir/on/host</code> is pretty easy to understand.  But what's the last boolean value represent?</p>

This is the write or read mode on the container. But you can enter this command for more detail in the return:
    docker inspect --format="{{json .Mounts}}" base-hostSrcNv

You can also use jq (apt install jq) tool to have beautiful json output:
    docker inspect --format="{{json .Mounts}}" base-hostSrcNv | jq
