Generated largely from the specified config; small parts taken from `docker image inspect`, such as the command line. Renamed some of the yaml keys to match the OCI spec rather than Docker Compose as we decided they are more readable, no more underscores. Add some extra functionality - tmpfs specification - fully general mount specification - no new privileges can be specified now For nostalgic reasons, using engine-api to talk to the docker cli as we only need an old API version, and it is nice and easy to vendor...

errors 
Package errors provides simple error handling primitives.
go get github.com/pkg/errors
The traditional error handling idiom in Go is roughly akin to
if err != nil {
return err
}
which applied recursively up the call stack results in error reports without context or debugging information. The errors package allows programmers to add context to the failure path in their code in a way that does not destroy the original value of the error.
Adding context to an error
The errors.Wrap function returns a new error that adds context to the original error. For example
_, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r)
if err != nil {
return errors.Wrap(err, "read failed")
}
Retrieving the cause of an error
Using errors.Wrap constructs a stack of errors, adding context to the preceding error. Depending on the nature of the error it may be necessary to reverse the operation of errors.Wrap to retrieve the original error for inspection. Any error value which implements this interface can be inspected by errors.Cause.
type causer interface {
Cause() error
}
errors.Cause will recursively retrieve the topmost error which does not implement causer, which is assumed to be the original cause. For example:
switch err := errors.Cause(err).(type) {
case *MyError:
// handle specifically
default:
// unknown error
}
