 The relative path root to which all dependency sources are saved. Currently always `.zigmod/deps`.
 > Note: only available when made with `zigmod fetch`.
 
+### `skip_libc`
+- Type: `bool`
+Bool if you want `deps.zig` to skip calling `linkLibC()` for you. Defaults to `false`.
+
 ### `fetch`
 - Type: `pub fn (exe: *std.build.LibExeObjStep) void`
 A helper function to automatically pull in dependencies, purely from the `zig build` system without the need to have `zigmod` installed.
