 `docker ps` will show only running containers by default. To see all containers:
 `docker ps -a`
 
+`docker ps` will group exposed ports into a single range if possible. E.g., a container that exposes TCP ports `100, 101, 102` will display `100-102/tcp` in the `PORTS` column.

 #### Filtering
 
 The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter)` format is a `key=value` pair. If there is more
