The format is the same as for [systemd command lines](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#Command%20lines), However, unlike the usage scenario for similarly-named systemd `ExecStart=` verb which operates on the ambient root filesystem, it is very common for container images to have their own `ENTRYPOINT` or `CMD` metadata which this interacts with. The default expectation for many images is that the image will include an `ENTRYPOINT` with a default binary, and this field will add arguments to that entrypoint. Another way to describe this is that it works the same way as the [args field in a Kubernetes pod](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-command-argument-container/#running-a-command-in-a-shell).
