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:
