Misty Stanley-Jones 52df69f00d Standardized formatting of CLI reference commands
Command name should be a H1

Only Description, Examples, and Related Commands should be H2

Changed 'Related information' heading to 'Related commands' since 99% it is only linking commands

Added some examples where relevant

kill The kill command description and usage container, kill, signal

kill

Usage:  docker kill [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

Kill one or more running containers

Options:
      --help            Print usage
  -s, --signal string   Signal to send to the container (default "KILL")

Description

The main process inside the container will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option --signal.

Note

: ENTRYPOINT and CMD in the shell form run as a subcommand of /bin/sh -c, which does not pass signals. This means that the executable is not the containers PID 1 and does not receive Unix signals.
