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