 # DESCRIPTION
-#   Wrapper for docker that intercepts the ps subcommand and redirects it to

-#   passed through to the real docker binary.
+#   Enhanced container listing: runs docker ps with a clean custom table
+#   (Names, Image, Status, Ports) instead of docker's noisier default
+#   columns. Extra arguments (e.g. -a) are forwarded to docker ps.

-#   args...     Arguments forwarded to docker or dops
+#   args...  Arguments forwarded to `docker ps`
