The official documentation can be found here.

What is the difference between docker pull and docker image pull commands?

As of now, I am learning Docker. This reference has mentioned two ways of pulling an image from the Docker registry. Can anyone explain this in simple terms?

Does this mean that we cannot get updates on a pulled image if we use docker image pull command?
