Description
Description
The man-page for docker build is incomplete. The --progress flag is not there. Perhaps there are more flags missing; I haven't made an extensive comparison. I recently needed to figure something, and found --progress in a Reddit post, however not in the man-page. I occasionally use the man-pages for docker, although they don't appear to be updated frequently (last commit was +2 years ago).
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/ Navigate here, and search for --progress. It's not there. Neither in man docker-build. It's not a build-kit specific flag.
