Description

The Docker Engine API supports a number of Blkio throttles that the CLI does not. (See here, under .HostConfig)

I would like to be able to use these throttles from the CLI, both in container create and container update.

Start by comparing the CLI's existing Blkio throttle options with the Docker Engine API's HostConfig section in the linked reference. Inspect the container create and update entry points, then verify that all available throttles are exposed consistently by both commands.
