  docker buildx inspect
  Description
  Inspect current builder instance
  Usage
  docker buildx inspect [NAME]
  Description
  Shows information about the current or specified builder.
  Options
  Option
  Default
  Description
  --bootstrap
  Ensure builder has booted before inspecting
  Examples
  Ensure that the builder is running before inspecting (--bootstrap)
  Use the
  --bootstrap
  option to ensure that the builder is running before
  inspecting it. If the driver is
  docker-container
  , then
  --bootstrap
  starts
  the BuildKit container and waits until it's operational. Bootstrapping is
  automatically done during build, and therefore not necessary. The same BuildKit
  container is used during the lifetime of the associated builder node (as
  displayed in
  buildx ls
  Override the configured builder instance (--builder)
  Same as
  buildx --builder
  Get information about a builder instance
  By default,
  inspect
  shows information about the current builder. Specify the
  name of the builder to inspect to get information about that builder.
  The following example shows information about a builder instance named
  elated_tesla
  Note
  The asterisk (
  ) next to node build platform(s) indicate they have been
  manually set during
  buildx create
  . Otherwise the platforms were
  automatically detected.
