### Common Scenarios
* **Managing Images**: List local images to understand the currently available images.
* **Filtering Images**: Use filter options to find images that meet specific conditions, such as dangling images (untagged images).
* **Image ID Management**: Retrieve only image IDs for subsequent operations, such as deleting images.
The `docker images` command is a very fundamental and important command in Docker image management. Through this command, users can view detailed information about all local images, and perform image management and maintenance. Using various options and formats, the output can be flexibly filtered and formatted to meet different management needs.
