 ## Formatting

-The formatting option (`--format`) will pretty-print container output using a Go template.

+The formatting option (`--format`) pretty-prints container output using a Go

+template.

 Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

-Placeholder | Description

-`.ID` | Container ID

-`.Image` | Image ID

-`.Command` | Quoted command

-`.CreatedAt` | Time when the container was created.

+Placeholder   | Description

+--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+`.ID`         | Container ID

+`.Image`      | Image ID

+`.Command`    | Quoted command

+`.CreatedAt`  | Time when the container was created.

 `.RunningFor` | Elapsed time since the container was started.

-`.Ports` | Exposed ports.

-`.Status` | Container status.

-`.Size` | Container disk size.

-`.Names` | Container names.

-`.Labels` | All labels assigned to the container.

-`.Label` | Value of a specific label for this container. For example `{{.Label "com.docker.swarm.cpu"}}`

-`.Mounts` | Names of the volumes mounted in this container.

-

-When using the `--format` option, the `ps` command will either output the data exactly as the template

-declares or, when using the `table` directive, will include column headers as well.

-

-The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the `ID` and `Command`

-entries separated by a colon for all running containers:

-

-    $ docker ps --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Command}}"

-    a87ecb4f327c: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA

-    01946d9d34d8: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA

-    c1d3b0166030: /bin/sh -c yum -y up

-    41d50ecd2f57: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA

+`.Ports`      | Exposed ports.

+`.Status`     | Container status.

+`.Size`       | Container disk size.

+`.Names`      | Container names.

+`.Label`      | Value of a specific label for this container. For example `'{{.Label "com.docker.swarm.cpu"}}'`
