I don't know about -B, but you can take advantage of the tool mode like this:
cmake -E chdir path/to/build cmake [options] path/to/source
Effectively you can use the chdir tool to spawn CMake with the working
directory you want it to have.

Thanks Nicholas,
Then if I run cmake from a shell script in working directory pwd
(and I do not want to cd)
can I tell cmake the first time to take the source
in path-to-source and do the build in path-to-build ?
I have read there is an undocumented option -B to do this ?

Yes, an existing build saves all the information it needs in the build
cache. Once you have created a build, you never need to specify the
source directory again.

to start cmake
cmake [] ( | )
But it does not explain nowhere the difference between the two...
Does the path-to-existing-build retrieve itself the source dir
and start like if it were invoked with path-to-source
from path-to-existing-
