+--------------

+This property is supported only when ``<LANG>`` is ``C`` or ``CXX``.
+
+Specify a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` containing a command line
+for the ``cpplint`` style checker.  The :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the
+:generator:`Ninja` generator will run ``cpplint`` along with the compiler
+and report any problems.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of the
+:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CPPLINT` variable if it is set when a target is
+created.
