This would be using the options section of an agenda command.

Here is a lisp example:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
   '(("a" agenda "" ((org-deadline-warning-days -5)))))

It is much easier to work on these custom views through the customize
interface, so do M-x customize-variable RET org-agenda-custom-commands 
RET
or even easier `C-c a C'

There you can click INS in the options field and then fill in
the variable name and the value you would like it to have.

In the Manual, take a look at section 9.6.3 which has examples for this.
Also John Wiegley shows in his document some examples for custom views
with local variable settings and how these are made using the customize
interface.

Hope this helps.
