The previous description implied that `entrypoint` must be an absolute
path to a binary within the container's rootfs. In reality, the
entrypoint may be any command, optionally with arguments. It can start
with an absolute path, a path relative to the container's working
directory, or the name of a binary found in the containers PATH
environment.
