first, what is the difference between "podman pause" and "podman
stop", particularly since "man podman-pause" seems to confuse the two:
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Pause all running containers.
EXAMPLE
... snip ...
Pause all running containers.
podman stop -a
^^^^
so anyone reading "man podman-pause" is going to think that "stop" is
a synonym, at least reading that example.
in addition, "man podman-stop" doesn't help the situation by not
distinguishing between paused and stopped containers:
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Stop all running containers. This does not include paused con‐
tainers.
second issue:
$ podman pause musing_knuth
Error: pause is not supported for rootless containers
$
even if this is true, there is nothing in "man podman-pause" to
suggest that this might occur, which is definitely grounds for
confusion.
