 # BuildImage takes a [BuildInfo](#BuildInfo) structure and builds an image.  At a minimum, you must provide the
-# 'dockerfile' and 'tags' options in the BuildInfo structure. It will return a [MoreResponse](#MoreResponse) structure
+# contextDir tarball path, the 'dockerfiles' path, and 'output' option in the BuildInfo structure.  The 'output'
+# options is the name of the of the resulting build. It will return a [MoreResponse](#MoreResponse) structure
 # that contains the build logs and resulting image ID.
+# #### Example
+# ~~~
+# $ sudo varlink call -m unix:///run/podman/io.podman/io.podman.BuildImage '{"build":{"contextDir":"/tmp/t/context.tar","dockerfiles":["Dockerfile"], "output":"foobar"}}'
