| write_file | |
| ---------- | |
| .. deprecated:: 3.0 | |
| Use the :command:`file(WRITE)` command instead. | |
| .. code-block:: cmake | |
| write_file(filename "message to write"... [APPEND]) | |
| The first argument is the file name, the rest of the arguments are | |
| messages to write. If the argument ``APPEND`` is specified, then the | |
| message will be appended. | |
| NOTE 1: :command:`file(WRITE)` and :command:`file(APPEND)` do exactly | |
| the same as this one but add some more functionality. | |
| NOTE 2: When using ``write_file`` the produced file cannot be used as an | |
| input to CMake (CONFIGURE_FILE, source file ...) because it will lead | |
| to an infinite loop. Use :command:`configure_file` if you want to | |
| generate input files to CMake. |
