Files Used by the BUILDX Utility

BUILDX uses the following files to perform the build process:

  • Dockerfile is the input file to the build process.

  • STDOUT is the Standard Output file for the build process.

  • STDERR is the Standard Error file for the external process to report errors.

DOCKERFILE, STDOUT, and STDERR files default to disk files with a FILESTRUCTURE of STREAM.

The BUILDX utility supports MCP-specific directives within the Dockerfile.
