Most of these are no longer relevant, just drop the comments. Most notable change: allow `podman kill` on paused containers. Works just fine when I test it. Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <mheon@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-kill - Kill the main process in one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
podman kill [options] [container ...]
podman container kill [options] [container ...]
DESCRIPTION
The main process inside each container specified will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option --signal.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Signal all running and paused containers.
--cidfile
Read container ID from the specified file and remove the container. Can be specified multiple times.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--signal, -s
Signal to send to the container. For more information on Linux signals, refer to man signal(7).
EXAMPLE
Kill container with a given name
podman kill mywebserver
Kill container with a given ID
podman kill 860a4b23
Terminate container by sending TERM signal
podman kill --signal TERM 860a4b23
Kill the latest container created by Podman
podman kill --latest
Terminate all containers by sending KILL signal
podman kill --signal KILL -a
Kill container using ID specified in a given files
