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

wait The wait command description and usage container, stop, wait

wait

Usage:  docker wait CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

Block until one or more containers stop, then print their exit codes

Options:
      --help   Print usage

Note

: docker wait returns 0 when run against a container which had already exited before the docker wait command was run.

Examples

Start a container in the background.

$ docker run -dit --name=my_container ubuntu bash

Run docker wait, which should block until the container exits.

$ docker wait my_container

In another terminal, stop the first container. The docker wait command above returns the exit code.

$ docker stop my_container

This is the same docker wait command from above, but it now exits, returning 0.

$ docker wait my_container
