Specific controls

A set of control flags specific for each platform are available to further configure the client behaviour. These can be set in two ways:

• using the Java thin client, specifying them via Java system properties, right after the "java" command, such as java -Dparam1=value1, -Dparam2=value2 ...

• in general with any client using the "--flags" operator, ... --flags:param1=value1,param2=value2

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.
