bash: Operation Controls
10.7 Operation Controls
=======================
'configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
'--cache-file=FILE'
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
'./config.cache'. Set FILE to '/dev/null' to disable caching, for
debugging 'configure'.
'--help'
Print a summary of the options to 'configure', and exit.
'--quiet'
'--silent'
'-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
'--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the Bash source code in directory DIR. Usually
'configure' can determine that directory automatically.
'--version'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the 'configure'
script, and exit.
'configure' also accepts some other, not widely used, boilerplate
options. 'configure --help' prints the complete list.
