+Option Handling
+***************
+
+During deployment configuration, options can be set in several places.
+
+These options are used for the execution of the tasks according to priority, depending on the context set.
+
+Priority ascending:
+ * Deployment
+ * Node
+ * Application
+ * Task
+
+With the same key, options in higher priority will overwrite those with lower priority.
+The options are resolved at runtime ``$this->configureOptions();``
+
+Deployment Options
+==================
+can be set as follows::
+
+    $deployment->setOption($optionName, $optionValue);
+
+Node Options
+============
+can be set as follows::
+
+    $node->setOption($optionName, $optionValue);
+
+Application Options
+===================
+can be set as follows::
+
+    // multiple options as array with
+    $application->setOptions($options);
+    // single option with
+    $application->setOption($optionName, $value);
+
+Task Options
+============
+can be set as follows::
+
+    // while defining a new task with
+    $workflow->defineTask($taskName, $options)
+    // or merge(overwrite) existing task-options with
+    $workflow->setTaskOptions($taskName, $options);
+
+Option Name
+===========
+Depending on the use case of the option you have to choose the option name:
+
+Options for specific Tasks:
+these would be combinations of the **fully qualified class name** and **option name** in sqare brackets::
+
+    $optionName = 'fullQualifiedClassName[optionName]'
+
+The **fully qualified class name** can be defined as follows::
+
+    'TYPO3\Surf\Task\Php\WebOpcacheResetExecuteTask'
+    // or by using php class-constant
+    \TYPO3\Surf\Task\Php\WebOpcacheResetExecuteTask::class
