# Build Command Types
|
||
|
|
||
|
These are the machine-readable types that exist as part of the output
|
||
|
of `packer build`.

<p>
|
||
|
Information about an artifact of the targetted item. This is a
|
||
|
fairly complex (but uniform!) machine-readable type that contains
|
||
|
subtypes. The subtypes are documented within this page in the
|
||
|
syntax of "artifact subtype: SUBTYPE". The number of arguments within
|
||
|
that subtype is in addition to the artifact args.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: index</strong> - The zero-based index of the
|
||
|
artifact being described. This goes up to "artifact-count" (see
|
||
|
below).
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 2: subtype</strong> - The subtype that describes
|
||
|
the remaining arguments. See the documentation for the
|
||
|
subtype docs throughout this page.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 3..n: subtype data</strong> - Zero or more additional
|
||
|
data points related to the subtype. The exact count and meaning
|
||
|
of this subtypes comes from the subtype documentation.
|
||
|
</p>
|

|
||
|
|

|
<dt>artifact-count (1)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
The number of artifacts associated with the given target.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: count</strong> - The number of artifacts as
|
||
|
a base 10 integer.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dt>artifact subtype: builder-id (1)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
The unique ID of the builder that created this artifact.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: id</strong> - The unique ID of the builder.
|

|
</p>
|

</dd>
|

|
|
||
|
<dt>artifact subtype: file (2)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
A single file associated with the artifact. There are 0 to
|
||
|
"files-count" of these entries to describe every file that is
|
||
|
part of the artifact.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: index</strong> - Zero-based index of the file.
|
||
|
This goes from 0 to "files-count" minus one.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 2: filename</strong> - The filename.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dt>artifact subtype: files-count (1)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
The number of files associated with this artifact. Not all
|
||
|
artifacts have files associated with it.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: count</strong> - The number of files.

|
<dt>artifact subtype: id (1)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
The ID (if any) of the artifact that was built. Not all artifacts
|
||
|
have associated IDs. For example, AMIs built have IDs associated
|
||
|
with them, but VirtualBox images do not. The exact format of the ID
|
||
|
is specific to the builder.
|
||
|
</p>
|

|
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Data 1: id</strong> - The ID of the artifact.

|
|
||
|
<dt>artifact subtype: nil (0)</dt>
|
||
|
<dd>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
If present, this means that the artifact was nil, or that the targetted
|
||
|
build completed successfully but no artifact was created.
|

</p>
|

</dd>
|

|
|

|
<dt>artifact subtype: string (1)</dt>
|

<dd>
|

|
<p>
|
||
|
The human-readable string description of the artifact provided by
|
||
|
the artifact itself.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>
|

<strong>Data 1: string</strong> - The string output for the artifact.
