795 Builds under directory
797 are influenced by the following
800 .Bl -tag -width ".Va DOC_LANG"
802 If set, restricts the documentation build to the language subdirectories
803 specified as its content.
804 The default action is to build documentation for all languages.

812 .Bl -tag -width ".Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS"
814 Pass the value of this variable to each
816 invocation used to build worlds and kernels.
