name: summary
returns: void
since: 0.53.0
description: |
This function is used to summarize build configuration at the end of the build
process. This function provides a way for projects (and subprojects) to report
this information in a clear way.
The content is a series of key/value pairs grouped into sections. If
the section keyword argument is omitted, those key/value pairs are
implicitly grouped into a section with no title. key/value pairs can
optionally be grouped into a dictionary, but keep in mind that
dictionaries does not guarantee ordering. `key` must be string,
`value` can be:
- an integer, boolean or string
- *since 0.57.0* an external program or a dependency
- *since 0.58.0* a feature option
- a list of those.
Instead of calling summary as `summary(key, value)`, it is also possible to
directly pass a dictionary to the [[summary]] function, as seen in the example
below.
`summary()` can be called multiple times as long as the same
section/key pair doesn't appear twice. All sections will be collected
and printed at the end of the configuration in the same order as they
have been called.

Example `meson.build`:
```meson
project('My Project', version : '1.0')
summary({'bindir': get_option('bindir'),
'libdir': get_option('libdir'),
'datadir': get_option('datadir'),
}, section: 'Directories')
summary({'Some boolean': false,
'Another boolean': true,
'Some string': 'Hello World',
'A list': ['string', 1, true],
}, section: 'Configuration')
```
Output:
```
My Project 1.0
Directories
prefix : /opt/gnome
bindir : bin
libdir : lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
datadir : share
Configuration
Some boolean : False
Another boolean: True
Some string : Hello World
A list : string
1
True
```
