# mark_as_advanced

Mark cmake cached variables as advanced.

    mark_as_advanced([CLEAR|FORCE] VAR [VAR2 ...])

Mark the named cached variables as advanced. An advanced variable will not be displayed in any of the cmake GUIs unless the show advanced option is on. If `CLEAR` is the first argument advanced variables are changed back to unadvanced. If `FORCE` is the first argument, then the variable is made advanced. If neither `FORCE` nor `CLEAR` is specified, new values will be marked as advanced, but if the variable already has an advanced/non-advanced state, it will not be changed.

It does nothing in script mode.
