STOPSIGNAL signal
```
The `STOPSIGNAL` instruction sets the system call signal that will be sent to the container to exit.
This signal can be a valid unsigned number that matches a position in the kernel's syscall table, for instance 9,
or a signal name in the format SIGNAME, for instance SIGKILL.
The `STOPSIGNAL` instruction sets the system call signal that will be sent to the
container to exit. This signal can be a signal name in the format `SIG<NAME>`,
for instance `SIGKILL`, or an unsigned number that matches a position in the
kernel's syscall table, for instance `9`. The default is `SIGTERM` if not
defined.
The image's default stopsignal can be overridden per container, using the
`--stop-signal` flag on `docker run` and `docker create`.

While the default (`SIGKILL`) signal will terminate the container, the signal
set through `--signal` may be non-terminal, depending on the container's main
process. For example, the `SIGHUP` signal in most cases will be non-terminal,
and the container will continue running after receiving the signal.

If `--stop-timeout` is set to `-1`, no timeout is applied, and the daemon will
wait indefinitely for the container to exit.
