.SH NAME
.PP
podman-stop - Stop one or more running containers

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBpodman stop\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIcontainer\fP ...

.PP
\fBpodman container stop\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIcontainer\fP ...

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Stops one or more containers using container IDs or names as input. The \fB--time\fP option
specifies the number of seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container after the stop command
is issued to the container. The default is 10 seconds. By default, containers are stopped with SIGTERM
and then SIGKILL after the timeout. The SIGTERM default can be overridden by the image used to create the
container and also via command line when creating the container.

.SH OPTIONS
.SS \fB--all\fP, \fB-a\fP
.PP
Stop all running containers.  This does not include paused containers.

.SS \fB--cidfile\fP=\fIfile\fP
.PP
Read container ID from the specified \fIfile\fP and stop the container.
Can be specified multiple times.

.PP
Command does not fail when \fIfile\fP is missing and user specified --ignore.

.SS \fB--filter\fP, \fB-f\fP=\fIfilter\fP
.PP
Filter what containers are going to be stopped.
Multiple filters can be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag.
Filters with the same key work inclusive with the only exception being
\fBlabel\fR which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive.

.SS \fB--ignore\fP, \fB-i\fP
.PP
Ignore errors when specified containers are not in the container store.  A user
might have decided to manually remove a container which leads to a failure
during the ExecStop directive of a systemd service referencing that container.

.SS \fB--latest\fP, \fB-l\fP
.PP
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container.
Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine.
(This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows
(excluding WSL2) machines)

.SS \fB--time\fP, \fB-t\fP=\fIseconds\fP
.PP
Seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container.
Use -1 for infinite wait.
