Some of the 21 output, e.g., image ID, is truncated, for space reasons. However the truncated 22 image ID, and often the first few characters, are enough to be used in other 23 Docker commands that use the image ID. The output includes repository, tag, image 24 ID, date created and the virtual size. 25 26 The title REPOSITORY for the first title may seem confusing. It is essentially 27 the image name. However, because you can tag a specific image, and multiple tags 28 (image instances) can be associated with a single name, the name is really a 29 repository for all tagged images of the same name. For example consider an image 30 called fedora. It may be tagged with 18, 19, or 20, etc. to manage different 31 versions. 32 33 # OPTIONS 34 **-a**, **--all**=*true*|*false* 35 Show all images (by default filter out the intermediate image layers). The default is *false*. 36 37 **--digests**=*true*|*false* 38 Show image digests. The default is *false*. 39 40 **-f**, **--filter**=[] 41 Filters the output. The dangling=true filter finds unused images. While label=com.foo=amd64 filters for images with a com.foo value of amd64. The label=com.foo filter finds images with the label com.foo of any value. 42 43 **--help** 44 Print usage statement 45 46 **--no-trunc**=*true*|*false* 47 Don't truncate output. The default is *false*. 48 49 **-q**, **--quiet**=*true*|*false* 50 Only show numeric IDs. The default is *false*. 51 52 # EXAMPLES 53 54 ## Listing the images 55 56 To list the images in a local repository (not the registry) run: 57 58 docker images 59 60 The list will contain the image repository name, a tag for the image, and an 61 image ID, when it was created and its virtual size. Columns: REPOSITORY, TAG, 62 IMAGE ID, CREATED, and VIRTUAL SIZE. 63 64 To get a verbose list of images which contains all the intermediate images 65 used in builds use **-a**: 66 67 docker images -a 68 69 ## Listing only the shortened image IDs 70 71 Listing just the shortened image IDs. This can be useful for some automated 72 tools. 73 74 docker images -q 75 76 # HISTORY 77 April 2014, Originally compiled by William Henry (whenry at redhat dot com) 78 based on docker.com source material and internal work. 79 June 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au>
