## Go client for the Docker Remote API
The `docker` command uses this package to communicate with the daemon. It can also be used by your own Go applications to do anything the command-line interface does  running containers, pulling images, managing swarms, etc.
For example, to list running containers (the equivalent of `docker ps`):
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
"github.com/docker/docker/client"
)
func main() {
cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
containers, err := cli.ContainerList(context.Background(), types.ContainerListOptions{})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for _, container := range containers {
fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", container.ID[:10], container.Image)
}
}
```
