1get_target_property 2------------------- 3 4Get a property from a target. 5 6.. code-block:: cmake 7 8 get_target_property(<VAR> target property) 9 10Get a property from a target. The value of the property is stored in 11the variable ``<VAR>``. If the target property is not found, the behavior 12depends on whether it has been defined to be an ``INHERITED`` property 13or not (see :command:`define_property`). Non-inherited properties will 14set ``<VAR>`` to ``<VAR>-NOTFOUND``, whereas inherited properties will search 15the relevant parent scope as described for the :command:`define_property` 16command and if still unable to find the property, ``<VAR>`` will be set to 17an empty string. 18 19Use :command:`set_target_properties` to set target property values. 20Properties are usually used to control how a target is built, but some 21query the target instead. This command can get properties for any 22target so far created. The targets do not need to be in the current 23``CMakeLists.txt`` file. 24 25See also the more general :command:`get_property` command. 26 27See :ref:`Target Properties` for the list of properties known to CMake. 28
