What is the container status of 'Dead'? #502
Labels

"dead" is used for a "defunct" container; for example, a container that you wanted to remove but was only partially removed because resources were kept busy by an external process. Dead containers cannot be (re)started, only removed. You can manually attempt to remove a dead container (if the problem causing it to not be removed in the first attempt failed), and the daemon will automatically attempt to remove dead containers when it's restarted. |

Just a note that because our docs are published from the release branch, the new status descriptions won’t be published until it’s in a release branch |

In the document, it listed a set of possible status,
created|restarting|running|removing|paused|exited|dead, however, there is no explanation of each status.I found an article explained some of the status: http://docker-saigon.github.io/post/Docker-Internals/ , but not all of them, especially the
deadstatus. What is the difference betweendeadandexited?I think we need some docs explain the lifecycle of a docker container and link the reference here.
