 Every time you run this tool, it will create a `build.options.json` file in build path. It's used to understand if build options (such as hardware folders, fqbn and so on) were changed when compiling the same sketch.
 If they changed, the whole build path is wiped out. If they didn't change, previous compiled files will be reused if the corresponding source files didn't change as well.
 You can save this file locally and use it instead of specifying `-hardware`, `-tools`, `-libraries`, `-fqbn`, `-pref` and `-ide-version`.
