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
       Desktop:
