SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Unpauses the processes in one or more containers. Container IDs or names can be used as input.

  --cidfile=file
Read container ID from the specified file and unpause the container. Can be specified multiple times.

  --filter, -f=filter
Filter what containers unpause. Multiple filters can be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag. Filters with the same key work inclusive with the only exception being label which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive.

Valid filters are listed below:
Filter | Description

before | [ID] or [Name] Containers created before this container
since | [ID] or [Name] Containers created since this container
volume | [VolumeName] or [MountpointDestination] Volume mounted in container
health | [Status] healthy or unhealthy
pod | [Pod] name or full or partial ID of pod
network | [Network] name or full ID of network
restart-policy | [Policy] Container's restart policy (e.g., 'no', 'on-failure', 'always', 'unless-stopped')
until | [DateTime] Containers created before the given duration or time.
command | [Command] the command the container is executing, only argv[0] is taken
should-start-on-boot | [Bool] Containers that need to be restarted after system reboot. True for containers with restart policy 'always', or 'unless-stopped' that were not explicitly stopped by the user

  --latest, -l
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)
