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 cgroups freezer. Traditionally, when suspending a process the SIGSTOP signal is used, which is
       observable by the process being suspended.  With the cgroups freezer 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 cgroups freezer 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.
