 An optional closure can be used to transform the index. Additionally, returning `Channel.STOP` will close the channel. For example:

 Although the input files matching a glob output declaration are not included in the resulting output channel, these files may still be transferred from the task scratch directory to the original task work directory. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary file copies, avoid using loose wildcards when defining output files, e.g. `path '*'`. Instead, use a prefix or a suffix to restrict the set of matching files to only the expected ones, e.g. `path 'prefix_*.sorted.bam'`.
