LABEL description="This text illustrates \
that label-values can span multiple lines."
An image can have more than one label. To specify multiple labels,
Docker recommends combining labels into a single `LABEL` instruction where
possible. Each `LABEL` instruction produces a new layer which can result in an
inefficient image if you use many labels. This example results in a single image
layer.
An image can have more than one label. You can specify multiple labels on a
single line. Prior to Docker 1.10, this decreased the size of the final image,
but this is no longer the case. You may still choose to specify multiple labels
in a single instruction, in one of the following two ways:
LABEL multi.label1="value1" multi.label2="value2" other="value3"
```none
LABEL multi.label1="value1" multi.label2="value2" other="value3"
```
The above can also be written as:
```none
LABEL multi.label1="value1" \
multi.label2="value2" \
other="value3"
```
LABEL multi.label1="value1" \
multi.label2="value2" \
other="value3"
Labels are additive including `LABEL`s in `FROM` images. If Docker
encounters a label/key that already exists, the new value overrides any previous
labels with identical keys.
Labels included in base or parent images (images in the `FROM` line) are
inherited by your image. If a label already exists but with a different value,
the most-recently-applied value overrides any previously-set value.
To view an image's labels, use the `docker inspect` command.
