+These environment variables can be used both with the `docker` command line and
+`dockerd` command line:
+
+* `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` The location of your authentication keys.

 Because Docker is developed using Go, you can also use any environment
 variables used by the Go runtime. In particular, you may find these useful:
