command: docker stop

short: Stop one or more running containers
long: |-
    The main process inside the container will receive `SIGTERM`, and after a grace
    period, `SIGKILL`. The first signal can be changed with the `STOPSIGNAL`
    instruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the `--stop-signal` option to
    `docker run`.
