+docker volume has subcommands for managing data volumes.

14 
+## Data volumes
15 
+
16 
+The `docker volume` command has subcommands for managing data volumes. A data volume is a specially-designated directory that by-passes storage driver management.
17 
+
18 
+Data volumes persist data independent of a container's life cycle. When you delete a container, the Engine daemon does not delete any data volumes. You can share volumes across multiple containers. Moreover, you can share data volumes with other computing resources in your system.
19 
+
20 
+To see help for a subcommand, use:

+
22 
+```
23 
+docker volume CMD help
24 
+```
25 
+
26 
+For full details on using docker volume visit Docker's online documentation.
