examples: |-
    Start a container in the background.

    ```console
    $ docker run -dit --name=my_container ubuntu bash
    ```

    Run `docker wait`, which should block until the container exits.

    ```console
    $ docker wait my_container
    ```

    In another terminal, stop the first container. The `docker wait` command above
    returns the exit code.

    ```console
    $ docker stop my_container
    ```

    This is the same `docker wait` command from above, but it now exits, returning
    `0`.

    ```console
    $ docker wait my_container

    0
    ```
