       The dotnetmsbuild command allows access to a fully functional MSBuild.

       The  command  has  the  exact same capabilities as the existing MSBuild command-line client for SDK-style
       projects only.  The options are all the same.  For more information about the available options, see  the
       MSBuild command-line reference.

       The  dotnet  build  command  is  equivalent to dotnetmsbuild-restore.  When you don’t want to build the
       project and you have a specific target you want to run, use dotnetbuild or dotnetmsbuild  and  specify
       the target.
