Summary

Improved the clarity of the environment variables section description.

Changes

Changed the environment variables section description from:

The following list of environment variables are supported by the docker command line:

To:

The following environment variables control the behavior of the docker command-line client:

This change:

  • Makes it clearer that these variables control Docker's behavior, not just that they are "supported"
  • Uses the more precise term "command-line client" instead of "command line"
  • Fixes the grammatical issue with "The following list...are supported" (subject-verb agreement)
