- `fallback` specifies a subproject fallback to use in case the dependency is not found in the system. The value is an array `['subproj_name', 'subproj_dep']` where the first value is the name of the subproject and the second is the variable name in that subproject that contains the value of [`declare_dependency`](#declare_dependency).
- `default_options` *(added 0.37.0)* an array of option values that override those set in the project's `default_options` invocation (like `default_options` in [`project()`](#project), they only have effect when Meson is run for the first time, and command line arguments override any default options in build files)
- `method` defines the way the dependency is detected, the default is `auto` but can be overridden to be e.g. `qmake` for Qt development, and different dependencies support different values for this (though `auto` will work on all of them)
+- `language` *(added 0.42.0)* defines what language-specific dependency to find if it's available for multiple languages.
The returned object also has methods that are documented in the [object methods section](#dependency-object) below.
