title: What does -B and -f flag do in Maven command?
body: <p>For example:</p>
  <pre><code>mvn -B -f pom.xml....
  </code></pre>
  <p>What do they do? I found it somewhere in a code. I tried to google it out but didn't find any useful information. I'm new in Maven, only have basic understanding.</p>
  <p>What I found in a code running on Jenkins CI/CD pipeline:</p>
  <pre><code>bat '''cmd.exe /C &quot;'''+mavenVersion+''' -B -f pom.xml install....'''
  </code></pre>
