get_cmake_property
------------------
Get a global property of the CMake instance.
.. code-block:: cmake
get_cmake_property(<var> <property>)
Gets a global property from the CMake instance. The value of
the ``<property>`` is stored in the variable ``<var>``.
If the property is not found, ``<var>`` will be set to ``NOTFOUND``.
See the :manual:`cmake-properties(7)` manual for available properties.
See also the :command:`get_property` command ``GLOBAL`` option.
In addition to global properties, this command (for historical reasons)
also supports the :prop_dir:`VARIABLES` and :prop_dir:`MACROS` directory
properties. It also supports a special ``COMPONENTS`` global property that
lists the components given to the :command:`install` command.
