Filtering (--filter)
The filtering flag (--filter) format is of “key=value”. If there is more
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")
The currently supported filters are:
- label (
label=<key>,label=<key>=<value>,label!=<key>, orlabel!=<key>=<value>) - only remove volumes with (or without, in caselabel!=...is used) the specified labels.
The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=... (label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>),
which removes volumes with the specified labels. The other
format is the label!=... (label!=<key> or label!=<key>=<value>), which removes
volumes without the specified labels.
