    48  
    49  ### Filtering
    50  
    51  The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is of "key=value". If there is more
    52  than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`)
    53  
    54  The currently supported filters are:
    55  
    56  * until (`<timestamp>`) - only remove containers created before given timestamp
    57  * label (`label=<key>`, `label=<key>=<value>`, `label!=<key>`, or `label!=<key>=<value>`) - only remove containers with (or without, in case `label!=...` is used) the specified labels.
    58  
    59  The `until` filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted
    60  timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m`, `1h30m`) computed
    61  relative to the daemon machine’s time. Supported formats for date
    62  formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`,
    63  `2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local
    64  timezone on the daemon will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a
    65  `+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp.  When providing Unix
    66  timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
    67  that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
    68  seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
    69  fraction of a second no more than nine digits long.
    70  
    71  The `label` filter accepts two formats. One is the `label=...` (`label=<key>` or `label=<key>=<value>`),
    72  which removes containers with the specified labels. The other
    73  format is the `label!=...` (`label!=<key>` or `label!=<key>=<value>`), which removes
    74  containers without the specified labels.

    76  The following removes containers created more than 5 minutes ago:
