+``-C <initial-cache>``
+ Pre-load a script to populate the cache.
+
+ When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a
+ CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings for
+ the project.  This option may be used to specify a file from which
+ to load cache entries before the first pass through the project's
+ cmake listfiles.  The loaded entries take priority over the
+ project's default values.  The given file should be a CMake script
+ containing SET commands that use the CACHE option, not a
+ cache-format file.
+
+``-D <var>:<type>=<value>``
+ Create a cmake cache entry.
+
+ When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a
+ CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings for
+ the project.  This option may be used to specify a setting that
+ takes priority over the project's default value.  The option may be
+ repeated for as many cache entries as desired.
+
+``-U <globbing_expr>``
+ Remove matching entries from CMake cache.
+
+ This option may be used to remove one or more variables from the
+ CMakeCache.txt file, globbing expressions using * and ? are
+ supported.  The option may be repeated for as many cache entries as
+ desired.
+
+ Use with care, you can make your CMakeCache.txt non-working.
+
+``-G <generator-name>``
+ Specify a build system generator.
+
+ CMake may support multiple native build systems on certain
+ platforms.  A generator is responsible for generating a particular
+ build system.  Possible generator names are specified in the
+ Generators section.
+
+``-T <toolset-name>``
+ Specify toolset name if supported by generator.
+
+ Some CMake generators support a toolset name to be given to the
+ native build system to choose a compiler.  This is supported only on
+ specific generators:
+
+ ::
+
+   Visual Studio >= 10
+   Xcode >= 3.0
+
+ See native build system documentation for allowed toolset names.
+
+``-A <platform-name>``
+ Specify platform name if supported by generator.
+
+ Some CMake generators support a platform name to be given to the
+ native build system to choose a compiler or SDK.  This is supported only on
+ specific generators::
+

+
+ See native build system documentation for allowed platform names.
