+@defvr {Scheme Variable} dune-build-system
+This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system dune)}. It
+supports builds of packages using @uref{https://dune.build/, Dune}, a build
+tool for the OCaml programming language. It is implemented as an extension
+of the @code{ocaml-build-system} which is described below. As such, the
+@code{#:ocaml} and @code{#:findlib} parameters can be passed to this build
+system.

+It automatically adds the @code{dune} package to the set of inputs.
+Which package is used can be specified with the @code{#:dune}
+parameter.
+
+There is no @code{configure} phase because dune packages typically don't
+need to be configured. The @code{#:build-flags} parameter is taken as a
+list of flags passed to the @code{dune} command during the build.
+
+The @code{#:jbuild?} parameter can be passed to use the @code{jbuild}
+command instead of the more recent @code{dune} command while building
+a package. Its default value is @code{#f}.
