# Go client for the Docker Engine 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 example, to list running containers (the equivalent of `docker ps`):
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
package main
|
||
|
||
import (
|
||
"context"
|
||
"fmt"
|
||
|
||
"github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
|
||
"github.com/docker/docker/client"
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
func main() {
|
||
cli, err := client.NewClientWithOpts(client.FromEnv)
|
||
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)
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
