NAME
       docker-container-pause - Pause all processes within one or more containers


SYNOPSIS
       docker container pause CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]


DESCRIPTION
       The  docker  container  pause command suspends all processes in the specified containers.  On Linux, this
       uses the freezer cgroup. Traditionally, when suspending a process the SIGSTOP signal is  used,  which  is
       observable by the process being suspended.  With the freezer cgroup the process is unaware, and unable to
       capture, that it is being suspended, and subsequently resumed. On Windows, only Hyper-V containers can be
       paused.

       See   the   freezer   cgroup  documentation  ⟨https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/freezer-
       subsystem.txt⟩ for further details.

       docker-container-unpause(1) to unpause all processes within a container.


OPTIONS
       -h, --help[=false]      help for pause
