IMAGE-BUILDER-DESCRIBE(1)

💖 IMAGE-BUILDER-DESCRIBE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up guide for image-builder-describe — a little command in the image-builder fam that just… tells you about stuff. specifically, it describes the image-type you hand it, like qcow2. and the pro tip of the century? pair it with --distro and --arch and it gets so much more specific. main character behavior tbh 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

image-builder-describe — describe the given image-type, e.g. qcow2 (tip: combine with --distro,--arch)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

image-builder describe  [flags]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like. you give it an image-type — qcow2, that kinda thing — and it describes it for you. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

and the tip, bestie, the tip that changes everything: combine it with --distro and --arch. then the description actually knows which distro and which architecture you're talking about. it's giving "personalized results." obsessed. ✨

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --arch="" — use the different architecture 🏗️
• --distro="" — build manifest for a different distroname (e.g. centos-9) 🐧
• -h, --help[=false] — help for describe 🫶
• --in-vm[=false] — run container in a virtual machine 🖥️

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones aren't just for describe — they come down from the parent image-builder command, so they're the family heirlooms fr fr 💜

• --extra-repo=[] — Add an extra repository during build (will not be gpg checked and not be part of the final image)

heads up bestie: --extra-repo stuff is not gpg checked and not part of the final image. so like, know what you're doing. 🙈

• --force-repo=[] — Override the base repositories during build (these will not be part of the final image)

and same energy here: --force-repo entries are not part of the final image either. it's overriding, not adopting. 💀

• --force-repo-dir="" — Override the default repository search path for custom repository files 🔍
• --output-dir="" — Put output into the specified directory 📁
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Switch to verbose mode (more logging on stderr and verbose progress) 🔥
