+Toolset and Build System Selection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default Xcode is allowed to select its own default toolchain.
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps
via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option, to specify another toolset.
+
+This generator supports toolset specification using one of these forms:
+
+* ``toolset``
+* ``toolset[,key=value]*``
+* ``key=value[,key=value]*``
+
+The ``toolset`` specifies the toolset name. The selected toolset name
+is provided in the :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_PLATFORM_TOOLSET` variable.
+
+The ``key=value`` pairs form a comma-separated list of options to
+specify generator-specific details of the toolset selection.
+Supported pairs are:
+
+``buildsystem=<variant>``
+ Specify the buildsystem variant to use.
+ See the :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_BUILD_SYSTEM` variable for allowed values.
+
+ For example, to select the original build system under Xcode 12,
+ run :manual:`cmake(1)` with the option ``-T buildsystem=1``.
