What's the difference between 'docker save' and 'docker image save'?

From the documentation:

docker save

Description: Save one or more images to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default)

Usage docker save [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]

docker image save

Description: Save one or more images to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default)

Usage docker image save [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]


Do they have the same behaviour or are there subtle differences depending on which one is used?

It's like docker ps and docker container ls, the same command but shorter alias.

Docker helper: 

docker --help | grep save
//and 
docker image --help | grep save

//returns the same info.
-- Save one or more images to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default)

Both are same. Some frequently used commands have shorter aliases under docker subcommand.
