The option should be included in the man pages for build: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE "The default components included in the build are controlled by the file /etc/src.conf in the source tree. To override the default file, include the SRCCONF option in the make steps, pointing to a custom src.conf file. For more information see src.conf." Since I'm complaining, the src.conf file doesn't actually describe what it's purpose is. It says it contains settings, but not what those settings do. The reader is not informed of it's true purpose until they start reading the list of variables. There seems to be only one purpose to those settings: to control the components included in a build. So: The *src.conf* file contains settings that will apply to every build involving the FreeBSD source tree; see build(7) <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE>. becomes The *src.conf* file contains variables that control what components will apply to all builds involving the FreeBSD source tree; see build(7) <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build&sektion=7&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE>.
