  -f, --force=false      Force the removal of a running container (uses SIGKILL)
  --help=false           Print usage
  -l, --link=false       Remove the specified link
  -v, --volumes=false    Remove the volumes associated with the container

Examples

$ docker rm /redis

This will remove the container referenced under the link /redis.

$ docker rm --link /webapp/redis
/webapp/redis

This will remove the underlying link between /webapp and the /redis containers removing all network communication.

$ docker rm --force redis

The main process inside the container referenced under the link /redis will receive SIGKILL, then the container will be removed.
