Command Explanations

-Ddocs=false: This switch prevents the build process from generating API documentation. Omit this switch if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed and wish to generate and install the API documentation.

-Dman=false: This switch prevents the build process from generating man pages. Omit this switch if you have asciidoc-9.1.0 installed and wish to generate and install the man pages.

-Dsystemd_user_services=false: This switch prevents the build process from installing systemd user services since they are useless on SysV systems.
