# manifests

An framework for saving manifest information generated during the build for later inspection. Manifests are kept in the final image and also copied to the build area post-image creation.

Elements that wish to save any form of manifest should depend on this element and can save their data to into the `DIB_MANIFEST_IMAGE_DIR` ( which defaults to `/etc/dib-manifests`). Note this is created in `extra-data.d` rather than `pre-install.d` to allow the `source-repositories` element to make use of it

The manifests are copied to `DIB_MANIFEST_SAVE_DIR`, which defaults to `${IMAGE_NAME}.d/`, resulting in the manifests being available as `${IMAGE_NAME}.d/dib-manifests` by default after the build.

## Extra status

This element will also add the files `dib_environment` and `dib_arguments` to the manifest recording the `diskimage-builder` specific environment (`DIB_*` variables) and command-line arguments respectively.
