## Description

Inspect a build record to view metadata such as duration, status, build inputs,
platforms, outputs, and attached artifacts. You can also use flags to extract
provenance, SBOMs, or other detailed information.

docker buildx history inspect qu2gsuo8ejqrwdfii23xkkckt

# Or using a relative offset
docker buildx history inspect ^1

The formatting options (`--format`) pretty-prints the output to `pretty` (default),
`json` or using a Go template.
