    11  # commit
    12  
    13      Usage: docker commit [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
    14  
    15      Create a new image from a container's changes
    16  
    17        -a, --author=""     Author (e.g., "John Hannibal Smith <hannibal@a-team.com>")
    18        -c, --change=[]     Apply specified Dockerfile instructions while committing the image
    19        --help=false        Print usage
    20        -m, --message=""    Commit message
    21        -p, --pause=true    Pause container during commit
    22  
    23  It can be useful to commit a container's file changes or settings into a new
    24  image. This allows you debug a container by running an interactive shell, or to
    25  export a working dataset to another server. Generally, it is better to use
    26  Dockerfiles to manage your images in a documented and maintainable way.
    27  
    28  The commit operation will not include any data contained in
    29  volumes mounted inside the container.
    30  
    31  By default, the container being committed and its processes will be paused
    32  while the image is committed. This reduces the likelihood of encountering data
    33  corruption during the process of creating the commit.  If this behavior is
    34  undesired, set the 'p' option to false.
    35  
    36  The `--change` option will apply `Dockerfile` instructions to the image that is
    37  created.  Supported `Dockerfile` instructions:
    38  `CMD`|`ENTRYPOINT`|`ENV`|`EXPOSE`|`LABEL`|`ONBUILD`|`USER`|`VOLUME`|`WORKDIR`
