+==========================
+Configure Options
+==========================
+
+Below is the full set of options one can use to configure the libc build.
+An option can be given an explicit value on the CMake command line using
+the following syntax:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  $> cmake <other build options> -D<libc config option name>=<option value> <more options>
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  $> cmake <other build options> -DLIBC_CONF_PRINTF_DISABLE_FLOAT=ON <more options>
+
+See the main ``config/config.json``, and the platform and architecture specific
+overrides in ``config/<platform>/config.json`` and ``config/<platform>/<arch>/config.json,``
+to learn about the defaults for your platform and target.
+
+* **"printf" options**
+    - ``LIBC_CONF_PRINTF_DISABLE_FLOAT``: Disable printing floating point values in printf and friends.
+    - ``LIBC_CONF_PRINTF_DISABLE_INDEX_MODE``: Disable index mode in the printf format string.
+    - ``LIBC_CONF_PRINTF_DISABLE_WRITE_INT``: Disable handling of %n in printf format string.
