name: get_option
returns: str | int | bool | feature | list[str | int | bool]
description: |
Obtains the value of the [project build option](Build-options.md)
specified in the positional argument.
Note that the value returned for built-in options that end in `dir`
such as `bindir` and `libdir` is always a path relative to (and
inside) the `prefix`.
The only exceptions are: `sysconfdir`, `localstatedir`, and
`sharedstatedir` which will return the value passed during
configuration as-is, which may be absolute, or relative to `prefix`.
[`install_dir` arguments](Installing.md) handles that as expected, but
if you need the absolute path to one of these e.g. to use in a define
etc., you should use `get_option('prefix') /
get_option('localstatedir')`
For options of type `feature` a
[[@feature]] option object
is returned instead of a string.
See [`feature` options](Build-options.md#features)
documentation for more details.
