## Client
## Go client for the Docker Remote API
The client package implements a fully featured http client to interact with the Docker engine. It's modeled after the requirements of the Docker engine CLI, but it can also serve other purposes.
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.
### Usage
You can use this client package in your applications by creating a new client object. Then use that object to execute operations against the remote server. Follow the example below to see how to list all the containers running in a Docker engine host:
For example, to list running containers (the equivalent of `docker ps`):
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/docker/docker/client"
"github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
"github.com/docker/docker/client"
)
func main() {
defaultHeaders := map[string]string{"User-Agent": "engine-api-cli-1.0"}
cli, err := client.NewClient("unix:///var/run/docker.sock", "v1.22", nil, defaultHeaders)
cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
options := types.ContainerListOptions{All: true}
containers, err := cli.ContainerList(context.Background(), options)
containers, err := cli.ContainerList(context.Background(), types.ContainerListOptions{})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for _, c := range containers {
fmt.Println(c.ID)
for _, container := range containers {
fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", container.ID[:10], container.Image)
}
}
```

/*
Package client is a 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 more information about the Remote API, see the documentation:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api/
Usage
You use the library by creating a client object and calling methods on it. The
client can be created either from environment variables with NewEnvClient, or
configured manually with NewClient.
For example, to list running containers (the equivalent of "docker ps"):
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)
}
}
