CMake command line option documentation

Cmake documentation has sensibly improved in the meantime, but -H<directory> and -B keep being hidden, probably for good reasons (they shouldn't be used outside of CMake development context).

-H<directory> and -B are both explained here.

For cmake -E, options are documented in this section.

Definitely not. You do have to look at the source code of CMake.

The online docs are good, but there are some private-ish implementation details that we intentionally leave out of the official docs. Command-line stuff we use from generated projects and makefiles are some of those details.

Online docs here:

Documented command line options here:

Probably not. You might have to look at the source code of CMake.
