A data volume is a specially-designated directory that by-passes storage driver management. + +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. + +To see help for a subcommand, use: + +``` +docker volume CMD help +``` + +For full details on using docker volume visit Docker's online documentation. + +# OPTIONS +**--help** + Print usage statement + +# COMMANDS +**create** + Create a volume + See **docker-volume-create(1)** for full documentation on the **create** command. + +**inspect** + Return low-level information on a volume + See **docker-volume-inspect(1)** for full documentation on the **inspect** command. + +**ls** + List volumes + See **docker-volume-ls(1)** for full documentation on the **ls** command. + +**rm** + Remove a volume + See **docker-volume-rm(1)** for full documentation on the **rm** command. + +# HISTORY +Feb 2016, created by Dan Walsh
