Kevin Alvarez 79c9e527a3 docs: generate markdown 
Keep frontmatter for docker, dockerd and index markdown files.
Also needs to move cli.md > docker.md before generation and
then move it back because cli.md is needed for yaml generation on docs

pause

Pause all processes within one or more containers

Aliases

docker container pause, docker pause

Description

The docker 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 for further details.

Examples

$ docker pause my_container
