Input 1 channel

#1 tuple

`meta` map	Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. `[ id:'sample1', single_end:false ]`
`vcf` file	A vcf or vcf.gz file with genetic variants `*.{vcf,vcf.gz}`
`dosage_field` string	The FORMAT field that contains the dosage information. Set to DS to when a dosage field is not present.
`bgen_reffirst` boolean	Set true to write BGEN file with ref-first flag. With this option the first allele in the BGEN correspond to the REF allele.
`sample_name_mode` string	Option to use to set IID/FID in the BGEN file. Allowed values are double-id, const-fid , or id-delim .

Output 4 channels

#1 log_file tuple

`meta` map	Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. `[ id:'sample1', single_end:false ]`
`*.log` file	Log file generated by plink2 with information on the process applied `*.log`

#2 versions

`versions.yml` file	File containing software versions `versions.yml`

#3 bgen_file tuple

`meta` map	Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. `[ id:'sample1', single_end:false ]`
