Disables a plugin. The plugin must be installed before it can be disabled,
see [`docker plugin install`](plugin_install.md).
The following example shows that the `no-remove` plugin is installed
and enabled:
```bash
$ docker plugin ls
NAME TAG DESCRIPTION ENABLED
tiborvass/no-remove latest A test plugin for Docker true
```
To disable the plugin, use the following command:
```bash
$ docker plugin disable tiborvass/no-remove
tiborvass/no-remove
$ docker plugin ls
NAME TAG DESCRIPTION ENABLED
tiborvass/no-remove latest A test plugin for Docker false
```
