.SH NAME
docker-volume - Manage volumes


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdocker volume COMMAND\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBdocker volume\fR command has subcommands for managing data volumes. A data
volume is a specially-designated directory that bypasses storage driver
management.

.PP
Data volumes persist data independent of a container's life cycle. When you
delete a container, the Docker 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.

.PP
To see help for a subcommand, use:

.EX
