45       The label filter accepts two formats.  One  is  the  label=key  or  la‐
46       bel=key=value,  which removes containers with the specified labels. The
47       other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which removes  con‐
48       tainers without the specified labels.

51       The  until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or
52       Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m)  computed  relative  to  the  ma‐
53       chine’s time.
