| get_source_file_property(VAR file property) |
| |
| Gets a property from a source file. The value of the property is |
| stored in the variable ``VAR``. If the source 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 "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_source_files_properties` to set property values. Source |
| file properties usually control how the file is built. One property that is |
| always there is :prop_sf:`LOCATION`. |
| |
| See also the more general :command:`get_property` command. |
