Docker stats --help usage does not indicate you can monitor multiple containers

[phemmer]

Currently the docker stats --help output looks like this:

Usage: docker stats [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

Display a live stream of one or more containers' resource usage statistics

  --help=false       Print usage

When I look at this, it appears the command only supports monitoring a single container.
It should really be documented as:

Usage: docker stats [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

@phemmer Yes, you're right, thanks!

actually, the way help works on that is kind of funky too - unless someone else is on it, I'll take it...

It should allow you to do a 'docker stats *' to show stats of running all containers (with friendly names, not docker IDs) . Kind of silly that is missing.
A clunky work-around I've been using is:

docker stats $(docker ps|grep -v "NAMES"|awk '{ print $NF }'|tr "\n" " ")

@pskerrett if you look at this issue: #10772 I think that's close to what you're looking for.
