build tooling (it's a slightly lower-level tool that can be used to build such
builders -- such as `orca-build`).
`Buildah` can run as a non root user and does not require privileges. Buildah
specializes in building OCI images. Buildah's commands replicate all of the
commands that are found in a Dockerfile. Its goal is also to provide a lower
level coreutils interface to build images, allowing people to build containers
without requiring a Dockerfile. The intent with Buildah is to allow other
scripting languages to build container images, without requiring a daemon.
`Buildah` specializes in building OCI images. Buildah's commands replicate all
