4 sections, as written by the author

The tools/dev_container script is a wrapper used to run commands inside the official crosvm

development container. This ensures a consistent environment with all necessary dependencies

installed (such as compilers, libraries, and system tools).

It uses Podman by default, but can fall back to or be forced to use Docker.

To run any command inside the dev container, prefix it with tools/dev_container:

tools/dev_container <command>

  tools/dev_container cargo check

  tools/dev_container ./tools/presubmit quick

  tools/dev_container ./tools/fmt

--use-docker: Force the script to use Docker instead of Podman.
--pull: Pull the latest version of the container image from the registry before running the

command.

--stop: Stop the currently running container instance.
--clean: Clean the container state (useful if the container gets into a bad state).
--no-interactive: Run in non-interactive mode (useful for scripts or CI).

Copy the folder
