                                                           [bazel release 5.3.1]
Startup options
===============

These options affect how bazel starts up, or more specifically, how
the virtual machine hosting bazel starts up, and how the bazel server
starts up. These options must be specified to the left of the bazel
command (e.g. 'build'), and they must not contain any space between
option name and value.

Example:
  % bazel --host_jvm_args=-Xmx1400m --output_base=/tmp/foo build //base

Options that appear before the command and are parsed by the client:
  --[no]autodetect_server_javabase (a boolean; default: "true")
  --[no]batch (a boolean; default: "false")
  --[no]batch_cpu_scheduling (a boolean; default: "false")
  --bazelrc (a string; default: see description)
  --[no]block_for_lock (a boolean; default: "true")
  --[no]client_debug (a boolean; default: "false")

  --[no]watchfs (a boolean; default: "false")

  --host_jvm_args (a string; may be used multiple times)
  --host_jvm_debug
  --host_jvm_profile (a string; default: "")
  --server_javabase (a string; default: "")

(Use 'help --long' for full details or --short to just enumerate options.)
