     1  The `docker container pause` command suspends all processes in the specified containers.
     2  On Linux, this uses the freezer cgroup. Traditionally, when suspending a process
     3  the `SIGSTOP` signal is used, which is observable by the process being suspended.
     4  With the freezer cgroup the process is unaware, and unable to capture,
     5  that it is being suspended, and subsequently resumed. On Windows, only Hyper-V
     6  containers can be paused.
