Build actually means 'run the default Target' generally in MSBuild

Specified internally when the command is started automatically in background by dotnet run. Causes RunFileArtifactsMetadata.LastAutomaticCleanupUtc to be updated.

Shared options of workload install and update commands.

Optional, hidden argument supplied by the unelevated client at server launch with the value of the client's . Used by the elevated server to accept IPC-supplied paths that originate from the client's temp directory when it differs from the server's (e.g., over-the-shoulder UAC, custom TEMP env vars).

Sets MSBuild Global Property values that are only used during Restore (implicit or explicit)

A 'template' for interactive usage across the whole dotnet CLI. Use this as a base and then specialize it for your use cases. Despite being a 'forwarded option' there is no default forwarding configured, so if you want forwarding you can add it on a per-command basis.

Whether the option accepts an boolean argument. If false, the option will be a flag. If not set by a user, this will default to true if the user is not in a CI environment as detected by . If this is set to function as a flag, then there is no simple user-provided way to circumvent the behavior.

Creates an implementation of the --no-logo option. This option suppresses the display of the startup banner or logos for commands or products it is applied to. The behavior of this option is influenced by the DOTNET_NOLOGO environment variable if it is set: If the --no-logo option is not specified on the command line, the environment variable will be checked to determine whether to suppress logos. Any truthy value - true, 1, yes, on - will suppress logos, while any falsy value - false, 0, no, off - will show logos. If the option is specified on the command line, it takes precedence over the environment variable. Finally, if neither the option nor the environment variable is set, the option will default to the provided .
