Available components and their influence on +whether a package is considered to be found are defined by the target +package. + +The [version] argument requests a version with which the package found +should be compatible (format is major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]). The +EXACT option requests that the version be matched exactly. If no +[version] and/or component list is given to a recursive invocation +inside a find-module, the corresponding arguments are forwarded +automatically from the outer call (including the EXACT flag for +[version]). Version support is currently provided only on a +package-by-package basis (details below). + +User code should generally look for packages using the above simple +signature. The remainder of this command documentation specifies the +full command signature and details of the search process. Project +maintainers wishing to provide a package to be found by this command +are encouraged to read on. + +The command has two modes by which it searches for packages: "Module" +mode and "Config" mode. Module mode is available when the command is +invoked with the above reduced signature. CMake searches for a file +called "Find<package>.cmake" in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH followed by the +CMake installation. If the file is found, it is read and processed by +CMake. It is responsible for finding the package, checking the +version, and producing any needed messages. Many find-modules provide +limited or no support for versioning; check the module documentation. +If no module is found and the MODULE option is not given the command +proceeds to Config mode. + +The complete Config mode command signature is: + +:: + + find_package(<package> [version] [EXACT] [QUIET] + [REQUIRED] [[COMPONENTS] [components...]] + [CONFIG|NO_MODULE] + [NO_POLICY_SCOPE] + [NAMES name1 [name2 ...]] + [CONFIGS config1 [config2 ...]] + [HINTS path1 [path2 ... ]] + [PATHS path1 [path2 ... ]] + [PATH_SUFFIXES suffix1 [suffix2 ...]] + [NO_DEFAULT_PATH] + [NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH] + [NO_CMAKE_PATH] + [NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH] + [NO_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY] + [NO_CMAKE_BUILDS_PATH] + [NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH] + [NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY] + [CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH | + ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH | + NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH]) + +The CONFIG option may be used to skip Module mode explicitly and +switch to Config mode. It is synonymous to using NO_MODULE. Config +mode is also implied by use of options not specified in the reduced +signature. + +Config mode attempts to locate a configuration file provided by the +package to be found. A cache entry called <package>_DIR is created to +hold the directory containing the file. By default the command +searches for a package with the name <package>. If the NAMES option +is given the names following it are used instead of <package>. The +command searches for a file called "<name>Config.cmake" or +"<lower-case-name>-config.cmake" for each name specified. A +replacement set of possible configuration file names may be given +using the CONFIGS option. The search procedure is specified below. +Once found, the configuration file is read and processed by CMake. +Since the file is provided by the package it already knows the +location of package contents. The full path to the configuration file +is stored in the cmake variable <package>_CONFIG. + +All configuration files which have been considered by CMake while +searching for an installation of the package with an appropriate +version are stored in the cmake variable <package>_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS, +the associated versions in <package>_CONSIDERED_VERSIONS. + +If the package configuration file cannot be found CMake will generate +an error describing the problem unless the QUIET argument is +specified. If REQUIRED is specified and the package is not found a +fatal error is generated and the configure step stops executing. If +<package>_DIR has been set to a directory not containing a +configuration file CMake will ignore it and search from scratch. + +When the [version] argument is given Config mode will only find a +version of the package that claims compatibility with the requested +version (format is major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]). If the EXACT +option is given only a version of the package claiming an exact match +of the requested version may be found. CMake does not establish any +convention for the meaning of version numbers. Package version +numbers are checked by "version" files provided by the packages +themselves. For a candidate package configuration file +"<config-file>.cmake" the corresponding version file is located next +to it and named either "<config-file>-version.cmake" or +"<config-file>Version.cmake". If no such version file is available +then the configuration file is assumed to not be compatible with any +requested version. A basic version file containing generic version +matching code can be created using the macro +write_basic_package_version_file(), see its documentation for more +details. When a version file is found it is loaded to check the +requested version number. The version file is loaded in a nested +scope in which the following variables have been defined: + +:: + + PACKAGE_FIND_NAME = the <package> name + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION = full requested version string + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_MAJOR = major version if requested, else 0 + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_MINOR = minor version if requested, else 0 + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_PATCH = patch version if requested, else 0 + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_TWEAK = tweak version if requested, else 0 + PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_COUNT = number of version components, 0 to 4 + +The version file checks whether it satisfies the requested version and +sets these variables: + +:: + + PACKAGE_VERSION = full provided version string + PACKAGE_VERSION_EXACT = true if version is exact match + PACKAGE_VERSION_COMPATIBLE = true if version is compatible + PACKAGE_VERSION_UNSUITABLE = true if unsuitable as any version + +These variables are checked by the find_package command to determine +whether the configuration file provides an acceptable version. They +are not available after the find_package call returns. If the version +is acceptable the following variables are set: + +:: + + <package>_VERSION = full provided version string + <package>_VERSION_MAJOR = major version if provided, else 0 + <package>_VERSION_MINOR = minor version if provided, else 0 + <package>_VERSION_PATCH = patch version if provided, else 0 + <package>_VERSION_TWEAK = tweak version if provided, else 0 + <package>_VERSION_COUNT = number of version components, 0 to 4 + +and the corresponding package configuration file is loaded. When +multiple package configuration files are available whose version files +claim compatibility with the version requested it is unspecified which +one is chosen. No attempt is made to choose a highest or closest +version number. + +Config mode provides an elaborate interface and search procedure. +Much of the interface is provided for completeness and for use +internally by find-modules loaded by Module mode. Most user code +should simply call + +:: + + find_package(<package> [major[.minor]] [EXACT] [REQUIRED|QUIET]) + +in order to find a package. Package maintainers providing CMake +package configuration files are encouraged to name and install them +such that the procedure outlined below will find them without +requiring use of additional options. + +CMake constructs a set of possible installation prefixes for the +package. Under each prefix several directories are searched for a +configuration file. The tables below show the directories searched. +Each entry is meant for installation trees following Windows (W), UNIX +(U), or Apple (A) conventions. + +:: + + <prefix>/ (W) + <prefix>/(cmake|CMake)/ (W) + <prefix>/<name>*/ (W) + <prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/ (W) + <prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/ (U) + <prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/ (U) + <prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/ (U) + +On systems supporting OS X Frameworks and Application Bundles the +following directories are searched for frameworks or bundles +containing a configuration file: + +:: + + <prefix>/<name>.framework/Resources/ (A) + <prefix>/<name>.framework/Resources/CMake/ (A) + <prefix>/<name>.framework/Versions/*/Resources/ (A) + <prefix>/<name>.framework/Versions/*/Resources/CMake/ (A) + <prefix>/<name>.app/Contents/Resources/ (A) + <prefix>/<name>.app/Contents/Resources/CMake/ (A) + +In all cases the <name> is treated as case-insensitive and corresponds +to any of the names specified (<package> or names given by NAMES). +Paths with lib/<arch> are enabled if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is +set. If PATH_SUFFIXES is specified the suffixes are appended to each +(W) or (U) directory entry one-by-one. + +This set of directories is intended to work in cooperation with +projects that provide configuration files in their installation trees. +Directories above marked with (W) are intended for installations on +Windows where the prefix may point at the top of an application's +installation directory. Those marked with (U) are intended for +installations on UNIX platforms where the prefix is shared by multiple +packages. This is merely a convention, so all (W) and (U) directories +are still searched on all platforms. Directories marked with (A) are +intended for installations on Apple platforms. The cmake variables +CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK and CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE determine the order of +preference as specified below. + +The set of installation prefixes is constructed using the following +steps. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified all NO_* options are enabled. + +1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables. These +are intended to be used on the command line with a -DVAR=value.

There are five kinds of target files that may be installed: +ARCHIVE, LIBRARY, RUNTIME, FRAMEWORK, and BUNDLE. Executables are +treated as RUNTIME targets, except that those marked with the +MACOSX_BUNDLE property are treated as BUNDLE targets on OS X. Static +libraries are always treated as ARCHIVE targets. Module libraries are +always treated as LIBRARY targets. For non-DLL platforms shared +libraries are treated as LIBRARY targets, except that those marked +with the FRAMEWORK property are treated as FRAMEWORK targets on OS X. +For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is treated as a +RUNTIME target and the corresponding import library is treated as an +ARCHIVE target. All Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL +platforms. The ARCHIVE, LIBRARY, RUNTIME, and FRAMEWORK arguments +change the type of target to which the subsequent properties apply. +If none is given the installation properties apply to all target +types. If only one is given then only targets of that type will be +installed (which can be used to install just a DLL or just an import +library).The INCLUDES DESTINATION specifies a list of directories +which will be added to the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the +<targets> when exported by install(EXPORT). If a relative path is +specified, it is treated as relative to the $<INSTALL_PREFIX>. + +The PRIVATE_HEADER, PUBLIC_HEADER, and RESOURCE arguments cause +subsequent properties to be applied to installing a FRAMEWORK shared +library target's associated files on non-Apple platforms.

See documentation of the PRIVATE_HEADER, +PUBLIC_HEADER, and RESOURCE target properties for details. + +Either NAMELINK_ONLY or NAMELINK_SKIP may be specified as a LIBRARY +option. On some platforms a versioned shared library has a symbolic +link such as + +:: + + lib<name>.so -> lib<name>.so.1 + +where "lib<name>.so.1" is the soname of the library and "lib<name>.so" +is a "namelink" allowing linkers to find the library when given +"-l<name>". The NAMELINK_ONLY option causes installation of only the +namelink when a library target is installed. The NAMELINK_SKIP option +causes installation of library files other than the namelink when a +library target is installed. When neither option is given both +portions are installed. On platforms where versioned shared libraries +do not have namelinks or when a library is not versioned the +NAMELINK_SKIP option installs the library and the NAMELINK_ONLY option +installs nothing. See the VERSION and SOVERSION target properties for +details on creating versioned shared libraries. + +One or more groups of properties may be specified in a single call to +the TARGETS form of this command. A target may be installed more than +once to different locations. Consider hypothetical targets "myExe", +"mySharedLib", and "myStaticLib". The code + +:: + + install(TARGETS myExe mySharedLib myStaticLib + RUNTIME DESTINATION bin + LIBRARY DESTINATION lib + ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib/static) + install(TARGETS mySharedLib DESTINATION /some/full/path) + +will install myExe to <prefix>/bin and myStaticLib to +<prefix>/lib/static.

On DLL platforms the +mySharedLib DLL will be installed to <prefix>/bin and /some/full/path +and its import library will be installed to <prefix>/lib/static and +/some/full/path. + +The EXPORT option associates the installed target files with an export +called <export-name>.

DESTINATION <dir> + [PERMISSIONS permissions...] + [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]] + [COMPONENT <component>] + [RENAME <name>] [OPTIONAL]) + +The FILES form specifies rules for installing files for a project. +File names given as relative paths are interpreted with respect to the +current source directory. Files installed by this form are by default +given permissions OWNER_WRITE, OWNER_READ, GROUP_READ, and WORLD_READ +if no PERMISSIONS argument is given. + +The PROGRAMS signature: + +:: + + install(PROGRAMS files... DESTINATION <dir> + [PERMISSIONS permissions...] + [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]] + [COMPONENT <component>] + [RENAME <name>] [OPTIONAL]) + +The PROGRAMS form is identical to the FILES form except that the +default permissions for the installed file also include OWNER_EXECUTE, +GROUP_EXECUTE, and WORLD_EXECUTE. This form is intended to install +programs that are not targets, such as shell scripts. Use the TARGETS +form to install targets built within the project. + +The DIRECTORY signature: + +:: + + install(DIRECTORY dirs... DESTINATION <dir> + [FILE_PERMISSIONS permissions...] + [DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS permissions...] + [USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS] [OPTIONAL] + [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]] + [COMPONENT <component>] [FILES_MATCHING] + [[PATTERN <pattern> | REGEX <regex>] + [EXCLUDE] [PERMISSIONS permissions...]] [...]) + +The DIRECTORY form installs contents of one or more directories to a +given destination. The directory structure is copied verbatim to the +destination. The last component of each directory name is appended to +the destination directory but a trailing slash may be used to avoid +this because it leaves the last component empty. Directory names +given as relative paths are interpreted with respect to the current +source directory. If no input directory names are given the +destination directory will be created but nothing will be installed +into it. The FILE_PERMISSIONS and DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS options +specify permissions given to files and directories in the destination. +If USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS is specified and FILE_PERMISSIONS is not, +file permissions will be copied from the source directory structure. +If no permissions are specified files will be given the default +permissions specified in the FILES form of the command, and the +directories will be given the default permissions specified in the +PROGRAMS form of the command. + +Installation of directories may be controlled with fine granularity +using the PATTERN or REGEX options. These "match" options specify a +globbing pattern or regular expression to match directories or files +encountered within input directories. They may be used to apply +certain options (see below) to a subset of the files and directories +encountered. The full path to each input file or directory (with +forward slashes) is matched against the expression. A PATTERN will +match only complete file names: the portion of the full path matching +the pattern must occur at the end of the file name and be preceded by +a slash. A REGEX will match any portion of the full path but it may +use '/' and '$' to simulate the PATTERN behavior. By default all +files and directories are installed whether or not they are matched. +The FILES_MATCHING option may be given before the first match option +to disable installation of files (but not directories) not matched by +any expression. For example, the code + +:: + + install(DIRECTORY src/ DESTINATION include/myproj + FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h") + +will extract and install header files from a source tree. + +Some options may follow a PATTERN or REGEX expression and are applied +only to files or directories matching them. The EXCLUDE option will +skip the matched file or directory. The PERMISSIONS option overrides +the permissions setting for the matched file or directory. For +example the code + +:: + + install(DIRECTORY icons scripts/ DESTINATION share/myproj + PATTERN "CVS" EXCLUDE + PATTERN "scripts/*" + PERMISSIONS OWNER_EXECUTE OWNER_WRITE OWNER_READ + GROUP_EXECUTE GROUP_READ) + +will install the icons directory to share/myproj/icons and the scripts +directory to share/myproj. The icons will get default file +permissions, the scripts will be given specific permissions, and any +CVS directories will be excluded. + +The SCRIPT and CODE signature: + +:: + + install([[SCRIPT <file>] [CODE <code>]] [...]) + +The SCRIPT form will invoke the given CMake script files during +installation. If the script file name is a relative path it will be +interpreted with respect to the current source directory. The CODE +form will invoke the given CMake code during installation. Code is +specified as a single argument inside a double-quoted string. For +example, the code + +:: + + install(CODE "MESSAGE(\"Sample install message.\")") + +will print a message during installation. + +The EXPORT signature: + +:: + + install(EXPORT <export-name> DESTINATION <dir> + [NAMESPACE <namespace>] [FILE <name>.cmake] + [PERMISSIONS permissions...] + [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]] + [EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES] + [COMPONENT <component>]) + +The EXPORT form generates and installs a CMake file containing code to +import targets from the installation tree into another project. +Target installations are associated with the export <export-name> +using the EXPORT option of the install(TARGETS ...) signature +documented above. The NAMESPACE option will prepend <namespace> to +the target names as they are written to the import file. By default +the generated file will be called <export-name>.cmake but the FILE +option may be used to specify a different name. The value given to +the FILE option must be a file name with the ".cmake" extension. If a +CONFIGURATIONS option is given then the file will only be installed +when one of the named configurations is installed. Additionally, the +generated import file will reference only the matching target +configurations. The EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES keyword, if +present, causes the contents of the properties matching +(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? to be exported, when +policy CMP0022 is NEW. If a COMPONENT option is specified that does +not match that given to the targets associated with <export-name> the +behavior is undefined. If a library target is included in the export +but a target to which it links is not included the behavior is +unspecified. + +The EXPORT form is useful to help outside projects use targets built +and installed by the current project. For example, the code + +:: + + install(TARGETS myexe EXPORT myproj DESTINATION bin) + install(EXPORT myproj NAMESPACE mp_ DESTINATION lib/myproj) + +will install the executable myexe to <prefix>/bin and code to import +it in the file "<prefix>/lib/myproj/myproj.cmake". An outside project +may load this file with the include command and reference the myexe +executable from the installation tree using the imported target name +mp_myexe as if the target were built in its own tree. + +NOTE: This command supercedes the INSTALL_TARGETS command and the +target properties PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT. It also +replaces the FILES forms of the INSTALL_FILES and INSTALL_PROGRAMS +commands.

PARENT_SCOPE cannot be combined with CACHE. + +If <value> is not specified then the variable is removed instead of +set. See also: the unset() command. + +:: + + set(<variable> <value1> ... <valueN>) + +In this case <variable> is set to a semicolon separated list of +values. + +<variable> can be an environment variable such as: + +:: + + set( ENV{PATH} /home/martink ) + +in which case the environment variable will be set. + +*** Variable types in CMake *** + +In CMake there are two types of variables: normal variables and cache +variables. Normal variables are meant for the internal use of the +script (just like variables in most programming languages); they are +not persisted across CMake runs. Cache variables (unless set with +INTERNAL) are mostly intended for configuration settings where the +first CMake run determines a suitable default value, which the user +can then override, by editing the cache with tools such as ccmake or +cmake-gui. Cache variables are stored in the CMake cache file, and +are persisted across CMake runs. + +Both types can exist at the same time with the same name but different +values. When ${FOO} is evaluated, CMake first looks for a normal +variable 'FOO' in scope and uses it if set. If and only if no normal +variable exists then it falls back to the cache variable 'FOO'. + +Some examples: + +The code 'set(FOO "x")' sets the normal variable 'FOO'. It does not +touch the cache, but it will hide any existing cache value 'FOO'. + +The code 'set(FOO "x" CACHE ...)' checks for 'FOO' in the cache, +ignoring any normal variable of the same name. If 'FOO' is in the +cache then nothing happens to either the normal variable or the cache +variable. If 'FOO' is not in the cache, then it is added to the +cache. + +Finally, whenever a cache variable is added or modified by a command, +CMake also *removes* the normal variable of the same name from the +current scope so that an immediately following evaluation of it will +expose the newly cached value. + +Normally projects should avoid using normal and cache variables of the +same name, as this interaction can be hard to follow. However, in +some situations it can be useful. One example (used by some +projects): + +A project has a subproject in its source tree. The child project has +its own CMakeLists.txt, which is included from the parent +CMakeLists.txt using add_subdirectory(). Now, if the parent and the +child project provide the same option (for example a compiler option), +the parent gets the first chance to add a user-editable option to the +cache. Normally, the child would then use the same value that the +parent uses. However, it may be necessary to hard-code the value for +the child project's option while still allowing the user to edit the +value used by the parent project. The parent project can achieve this +simply by setting a normal variable with the same name as the option +in a scope sufficient to hide the option's cache variable from the +child completely. The parent has already set the cache variable, so +the child's set(...CACHE...) will do nothing, and evaluating the +option variable will use the value from the normal variable, which +hides the cache variable. diff --git a/Help/command/set_directory_properties.rst b/Help/command/set_directory_properties.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..834013a --- /dev/null +++ b/Help/command/set_directory_properties.rst @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +set_directory_properties +------------------------ + +Set a property of the directory. + +:: + + set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES prop1 value1 prop2 value2) + +Set a property for the current directory and subdirectories.

You can use any prop value pair you want and extract it +later with the GET_TARGET_PROPERTY command. + +Properties that affect the name of a target's output file are as +follows. The PREFIX and SUFFIX properties override the default target +name prefix (such as "lib") and suffix (such as ".so"). IMPORT_PREFIX +and IMPORT_SUFFIX are the equivalent properties for the import library +corresponding to a DLL (for SHARED library targets). OUTPUT_NAME sets +the real name of a target when it is built and can be used to help +create two targets of the same name even though CMake requires unique +logical target names. There is also a <CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME that can +set the output name on a per-configuration basis. <CONFIG>_POSTFIX +sets a postfix for the real name of the target when it is built under +the configuration named by <CONFIG> (in upper-case, such as +"DEBUG_POSTFIX"). The value of this property is initialized when the +target is created to the value of the variable CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX +(except for executable targets because earlier CMake versions which +did not use this variable for executables). + +The LINK_FLAGS property can be used to add extra flags to the link +step of a target. LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG> will add to the configuration +<CONFIG>, for example, DEBUG, RELEASE, MINSIZEREL, RELWITHDEBINFO. +DEFINE_SYMBOL sets the name of the preprocessor symbol defined when +compiling sources in a shared library. If not set here then it is set +to target_EXPORTS by default (with some substitutions if the target is +not a valid C identifier). This is useful for headers to know whether +they are being included from inside their library or outside to +properly setup dllexport/dllimport decorations. The COMPILE_FLAGS +property sets additional compiler flags used to build sources within +the target. It may also be used to pass additional preprocessor +definitions. + +The LINKER_LANGUAGE property is used to change the tool used to link +an executable or shared library. The default is set the language to +match the files in the library. CXX and C are common values for this +property. + +For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to specify the +build version and API version respectively. When building or +installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports +symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is +specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. For +executables VERSION can be used to specify the build version. When +building or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the +platform supports symlinks. For shared libraries and executables on +Windows the VERSION attribute is parsed to extract a "major.minor" +version number. These numbers are used as the image version of the +binary. + +There are a few properties used to specify RPATH rules. INSTALL_RPATH +is a semicolon-separated list specifying the rpath to use in installed +targets (for platforms that support it). INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH +is a boolean that if set to true will append directories in the linker +search path and outside the project to the INSTALL_RPATH. +SKIP_BUILD_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to skip automatic +generation of an rpath allowing the target to run from the build tree. +BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to link the +target in the build tree with the INSTALL_RPATH. This takes +precedence over SKIP_BUILD_RPATH and avoids the need for relinking +before installation. INSTALL_NAME_DIR is a string specifying the +directory portion of the "install_name" field of shared libraries on +Mac OSX to use in the installed targets. When the target is created +the values of the variables CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH, +CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH, CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH, +CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH, and CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR are used to +initialize these properties. + +PROJECT_LABEL can be used to change the name of the target in an IDE +like visual studio. VS_KEYWORD can be set to change the visual studio +keyword, for example Qt integration works better if this is set to +Qt4VSv1.0. + +VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME, VS_SCC_LOCALPATH, VS_SCC_PROVIDER and +VS_SCC_AUXPATH can be set to add support for source control bindings +in a Visual Studio project file. + +VS_GLOBAL_<variable> can be set to add a Visual Studio +project-specific global variable.
