Description
Description
I propose that docker image load return, apart from the image name, the assigned image ID. That would save an extra step of listing images in order to find it. It would also make the command consistent with container creation which does return container ID.
Describe the results you received:
$ docker image load --input <file-path>
Loaded image: <image-name>
Describe the results you expected:
I'd prefer to see also the image ID being returned.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Docker CLI entry point for docker image load and the existing output that reports the loaded image name. Identify the related tests, then update the behavior so the image ID is also returned and verify the command output covers both values.
