    19  Usage:  docker version [OPTIONS]
    20  
    21  Show the Docker version information
    22  
    23  Options:
    24    -f, --format string   Format the output using the given Go template
    25        --help            Print usage
    26  ```
    27  
    28  By default, this will render all version information in an easy to read
    29  layout. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead.
    30  
    31  Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
    32  describes all the details of the format.
