|  | # Setting VM flags in standalone executables | 
|  |  | 
|  | Dart VM flags and options can be provided to any executable generated using `dart compile exe` via the `DART_VM_OPTIONS` environment variable. | 
|  |  | 
|  | `DART_VM_OPTIONS` should be set to a list of comma-separated flags and options with no whitespace. Options that allow for multiple values to be provided as comma-separated values are not supported (e.g., `--timeline-streams=Dart,GC,Compiler`). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Example of a valid `DART_VM_OPTIONS` environment variable: | 
|  |  | 
|  | DART_VM_OPTIONS=--random_seed=42,--verbose_gc |
