--compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]

Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.

--directory=DIR

Use images and modules in DIR.

--grub-mkimage=FILE

Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1). The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.

--rom-directory=DIR

--xorriso=FILE

Use FILE as xorriso.

--grub-glue-efi=FILE
