method BuildImage(build: [BuildInfo](#BuildInfo)) [[]string](#[]string)</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.  Upon a successful build, it will
return the ID of the container.
### <a name="Commit"></a>func Commit
<div style="background-color: #E8E8E8; padding: 15px; margin: 10px; border-radius: 10px;">

method Commit(name: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string), image_name: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string), changes: [[]string](#[]string), author: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string), message: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string), pause: [bool](https://godoc.org/builtin#bool)) [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string)</div>
Commit, creates an image from an existing container. It requires the name or
ID of the container as well as the resulting image name.  Optionally, you can define an author and message
to be added to the resulting image.  You can also define changes to the resulting image for the following
attributes: _CMD, ENTRYPOINT, ENV, EXPOSE, LABEL, ONBUILD, STOPSIGNAL, USER, VOLUME, and WORKDIR_.  To pause the
container while it is being committed, pass a _true_ bool for the pause argument.  If the container cannot
be found by the ID or name provided, a (ContainerNotFound)[#ContainerNotFound] error will be returned; otherwise,
the resulting image's ID will be returned as a string.
### <a name="CreateContainer"></a>func CreateContainer

method StopContainer(name: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string), timeout: [int](https://godoc.org/builtin#int)) [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string)</div>
StopContainer stops a container given a timeout.  It takes the name or ID of a container as well as a
timeout value.  The timeout value the time before a forcible stop to the container is applied.  It
returns the container ID once stopped. If the container cannot be found, a [ContainerNotFound](#ContainerNotFound)
error will be returned instead. See also [KillContainer](KillContainer).
