 method BuildImage(build: [BuildInfo](#BuildInfo)) [MoreResponse](#MoreResponse)</div>
 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"}}'
