+Set the OS/ARCH of the built image (and its base image, if your build uses one)
+to the provided value instead of using the current operating system and
+architecture of the host (for example `linux/arm`). If `--platform` is set,
+then the values of the `--arch`, `--os`, and `--variant` options will be
+overridden.
+
+The `--platform` flag can be specified more than once, or given a
+comma-separated list of values as its argument. When more than one platform is
+specified, the `--manifest` option should be used instead of the `--tag`
+option.
+
+OS/ARCH pairs are those used by the Go Programming Language. In several cases
+the ARCH value for a platform differs from one produced by other tools such as
+the `arch` command. Valid OS and architecture name combinations are listed as
+values for $GOOS and $GOARCH at https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment,
+and can also be found by running `go tool dist list`.
-This option has no effect on the build. Other container engines use this option
-to control the execution platform for the build (e.g., Windows, Linux) which is
-not required for Buildah as it supports only Linux.
+While `podman build` is happy to use base images and build images for any
+platform that exists, `RUN` instructions will not be able to succeed without
+the help of emulation provided by packages like `qemu-user-static`.
