NAME

   docker-version - Show the Docker version information

SYNOPSIS

   docker version [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   The version command prints the current version number for all independently versioned Docker components.

EXAMPLES Display Docker version information

   The  default  output  renders all version information divided into two sections; the "Client" section contains information about the Docker CLI and client components, and the "Server"
   section contains information about the Docker Engine and components used by the Engine, such as the "Containerd" and "Runc" OCI Runtimes.

   The information shown may differ depending on how you installed Docker and what components are in use. The following example shows the output on a macOS machine running  Docker  Desk‐
