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  subse‐
   quently 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
