+## Passing options to `idris` commands
+
+The `build-idris-package` function provides also optional input values to set additional options for the used `idris` commands.
+
+Specifically, you can set `idrisBuildOptions`, `idrisTestOptions`, `idrisInstallOptions` and `idrisDocOptions` to provide additional options to the `idris` command respectively when building, testing, installing and generating docs for your package.
+
+For example you could set
+
+```
+build-idris-package {
+  idrisBuildOptions = [ "--log" "1" "--verbose" ]
+
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+to require verbose output during `idris` build phase.
