| get_target_property |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Get a property from a target. |

| .. code-block:: cmake |
| |
| get_target_property(<VAR> target property) |
| |
| Get a property from a target. The value of the property is stored in |
| the variable ``<VAR>``. If the target property is not found, the behavior |
| depends on whether it has been defined to be an ``INHERITED`` property |
| or not (see :command:`define_property`). Non-inherited properties will |
| set ``<VAR>`` to ``<VAR>-NOTFOUND``, whereas inherited properties will search |
| the relevant parent scope as described for the :command:`define_property` |
| command and if still unable to find the property, ``<VAR>`` will be set to |
| an empty string. |
| |
| Use :command:`set_target_properties` to set target property values. |
| Properties are usually used to control how a target is built, but some |
| query the target instead. This command can get properties for any |
| target so far created. The targets do not need to be in the current |
| ``CMakeLists.txt`` file. |
| |
| See also the more general :command:`get_property` command. |
| |
| See :ref:`Target Properties` for the list of properties known to CMake. |
