meson -h lists:
configure Change project options
Which could perhaps be reworded as it allows you to both view and change
them.
If you install meson via a linux distribution package, it probably has
nice integration with our manpage. If you install it with `pip install
meson` then not so much...
$ man meson
The configure command
meson configure provides a way to configure a Meson project from
the command line. Its usage is simple:
meson configure [ build directory ] [ options to set ]
If build directory is omitted, the current directory is used
instead.
If no parameters are set, meson configure will print the value of
all build options to the console.
To set values, use the -D command line argument like this.
meson configure -Dopt1=value1 -Dopt2=value2

machine files (passed via --cross-file or --native-file) allow you to
define your toolchain, e.g. set up persistent CFLAGS and CC that you can
store as a configuration file, check into git, share with people, etc.
You can also store configuration options in them:
[project options]
gettext = 'disabled'
default_editor = 'vim'
[built-in options]
c_std = 'gnu17'
b_lto = true
b_sanitize = 'address,undefined'
