NAME

9       dotnet msbuild - Builds a project and all of its dependencies.  Note: A
10       solution or project file may need to be specified if there  are  multi‐
11       ple.
12

SYNOPSIS

14              dotnet msbuild <MSBUILD_ARGUMENTS>
15
16              dotnet msbuild -h
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The dotnet msbuild command allows access to a fully functional MSBuild.
20
21       The  command  has  the  exact same capabilities as the existing MSBuild
22       command-line client for SDK-style projects only.  The options  are  all
23       the  same.   For  more information about the available options, see the
24       MSBuild command-line reference.
25
26       The dotnet build command is  equivalent  to  dotnet  msbuild  -restore.
27       When you don’t want to build the project and you have a specific target
28       you want to run, use dotnet build or dotnet  msbuild  and  specify  the
29       target.
