podman-machine-stop - Stop a virtual machine

       Stops a virtual machine.

       The  default  machine  name is podman-machine-default. If a machine name is not specified as an argument,
       then podman-machine-default will be stopped.

       Rootless only.

       Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers
       do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to the  Linux  kernel.  Podman
       machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.

       podmanmachinestop stops a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.

       Stop a podman machine named myvm.

       $ podman machine stop myvm
