19## Description
20
21This command displays system wide information regarding the Docker installation.
22Information displayed includes the kernel version, number of containers and images.
23The number of images shown is the number of unique images. The same image tagged
24under different names is counted only once.
25
26If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead of the
27default format. Go's [text/template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template) package
28describes all the details of the format.
29
30Depending on the storage driver in use, additional information can be shown, such
31as pool name, data file, metadata file, data space used, total data space, metadata
32space used, and total metadata space.
33
34The data file is where the images are stored and the metadata file is where the
35meta data regarding those images are stored. When run for the first time Docker
36allocates a certain amount of data space and meta data space from the space
37available on the volume where `/var/lib/docker` is mounted.
