# The Docker commands This section contains reference information on using Docker's command line client. Each command has a reference page along with samples. If you are unfamiliar with the command line, you should start by reading about how to ["Use the Docker command line"](cli.md). You start the Docker daemon with the command line. How you start the daemon affects your Docker containers. For that reason you should also make sure to read the [`daemon`](daemon.md) reference page. ### Docker management commands * [daemon](daemon.md) * [info](info.md) * [inspect](inspect.md) * [version](version.md) ### Image commands * [build](build.md) * [commit](commit.md) * [export](export.md) * [history](history.md) * [images](images.md) * [import](import.md) * [load](load.md) * [rmi](rmi.md) * [save](save.md) * [tag](tag.md) ### Container commands * [attach](attach.md) * [cp](cp.md) * [create](create.md) * [diff](diff.md) * [events](events.md) * [exec](exec.md) * [kill](kill.md) * [logs](logs.md) * [pause](pause.md) * [port](port.md) * [ps](ps.md) * [rename](rename.md) * [restart](restart.md) * [rm](rm.md) * [run](run.md) * [start](start.md) * [stats](stats.md) * [stop](stop.md) * [top](top.md) * [unpause](unpause.md) * [wait](wait.md) ### Hub and registry commands * [login](login.md) * [logout](logout.md) * [pull](pull.md) * [push](push.md) * [search](search.md) ### Network and connectivity commands * [network_connect](network_connect.md) * [network_create](network_create.md) * [network_disconnect](network_disconnect.md) * [network_inspect](network_inspect.md) * [network_ls](network_ls.md) * [network_rm](network_rm.md) ### Shared data volume commands * [volume_create](volume_create.md) * [volume_inspect](volume_inspect.md) * [volume_ls](volume_ls.md) * [volume_rm](volume_rm.md)
