| get_target_property |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Get a property from a target. |
| |
| .. code-block:: cmake |
| |
| get_target_property(<variable> <target> <property>) |
| |
| Get a property from a target. The value of the property is stored in the |
| specified ``<variable>``. If the target property is not found, ``<variable>`` |
| will be set to ``<variable>-NOTFOUND``. If the target property was defined to |
| be an ``INHERITED`` property (see :command:`define_property`), the search will |
| include the relevant parent scopes, as described for the |
| :command:`define_property` command. |
| |
| 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. |
