17 Rename changes the name of an existing container. The old name will be
18 freed, and will be available for use. This command can be run on con‐
19 tainers in any state. However, running containers may not fully re‐
20 ceive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a running
21 container may still use the old name in its logs. At present, only
22 containers are supported; pods and volumes cannot be renamed.
