Obtains the value of the [project build option](Build-options.md) |
|
specified in the positional argument. |
|
|
|
Note that the value returned for built-in options that end in `dir` |
|
such as `bindir` and `libdir` is always a path relative to (and |
|
inside) the `prefix`. |
|
|
|
The only exceptions are: `sysconfdir`, `localstatedir`, and |
|
`sharedstatedir` which will return the value passed during |
|
configuration as-is, which may be absolute, or relative to `prefix`. |
|
[`install_dir` arguments](Installing.md) handles that as expected, but |
|
if you need the absolute path to one of these e.g. to use in a define |
|
etc., you should use `get_option('prefix') / |
|
get_option('localstatedir')` |
|
|
|
For options of type `feature` a |
|
[[@feature]] option object |
|
is returned instead of a string. |
|
See [`feature` options](Build-options.md#features) |
|
documentation for more details. |
