I need the type to compare the result return by the function to an integer number

You can use the docker system info command. There are 4 counters:
Containers - total of all containers - Running + Paused + Stopped

$ docker system info --format '{{ .Containers }}' 
20
$ docker system info --format '{{ .ContainersRunning }}' 
16
$ docker system info --format '{{ .ContainersPaused }}' 
0
$ docker system info --format '{{ .ContainersStopped }}'
