# info

```markdown
Usage:  docker info [OPTIONS]

Display system-wide information

Options:
  -f, --format string   Format the output using the given Go template
      --help            Print usage
```

## Description

This command displays system wide information regarding the Docker installation.
Information displayed includes the kernel version, number of containers and images.
The number of images shown is the number of unique images. The same image tagged
under different names is counted only once.

If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead of the
default format. Go's [text/template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
describes all the details of the format.

Depending on the storage driver in use, additional information can be shown, such
as pool name, data file, metadata file, data space used, total data space, metadata
space used, and total metadata space.

The data file is where the images are stored and the metadata file is where the
meta data regarding those images are stored. When run for the first time Docker
allocates a certain amount of data space and meta data space from the space
available on the volume where `/var/lib/docker` is mounted.

## Examples

### Show output

The example below shows the output for a daemon running on Ubuntu Linux,
using the `overlay2` storage driver. As can be seen in the output, additional
information about the `overlay2` storage driver is shown:
