Notes

The ContainerBuilder class is the base class for all container runtimes supported by Nextflow. It produces the container wrapper command for a given task run.

Executors that support containerized tasks insert this wrapper command into the task wrapper script (.command.run). Executors that are container-native, i.e. that launch the task wrapper itself inside a container, don't need to generate a container wrapper command.
