# StartParameter

open class StartParameter : LoggingConfiguration, ParallelismConfiguration, Serializable(source)

`StartParameter` defines the configuration used by a Gradle instance to execute a build. The properties of `StartParameter` generally correspond to the command-line options of Gradle.

The `StartParameter` for a build is provided by Gradle, e.g. via getStartParameter. It is not intended to be created or copied directly.
