SYNOPSIS

       podman machine stop [name]

DESCRIPTION

       Stops a virtual machine.

       Rootless only.

       Podman  on  MacOS  and  Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are
       Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core  functionality  are
       tied  to  the  Linux  kernel.  Podman  machine  must  be  used to manage MacOS and Windows
       machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.

       podman machine stop stops a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
