# Specific controls A set of control flags specific for each platform are available to further configure the client behaviour. These can be set in different ways: * using the Java thin client, specifying them via Java system properties, right after the "java" command, such as `java -Dparam1=value1, -Dparam2=value2 ...` * using the dockerized client using the CLIENT\_VM\_PARAMS environment properties:\ `export CLIENT_VM_PARAMS='-Dparam1=value1 -Dparam2=value2'` * in general with any client using the "--flags" operator, `... --flags:param1=value1,param2=value2`. A double comma can be used to escape a single comma contained in a value or parameter. So, for example, if you want to avoid to execute a "dotnet restore" when analysing a .NET project, you can do it either this way: ``` $ java -Ddotnet.restore=false -jar /tmp/meterian-cli.jar ``` Or this way, when for example using the dockerized client: ``` $ meterian-docker --flags:dotnet.restore=false ``` To check which control flags are available please refer to the following sections. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.meterian.io/the-client/command-line-parameters/specific-controls.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
