The first argument +specifies the variable in which to store the result. The second +argument determines the scope from which to get the property. It must +be one of the following: + +GLOBAL scope is unique and does not accept a name. + +DIRECTORY scope defaults to the current directory but another +directory (already processed by CMake) may be named by full or +relative path. + +TARGET scope must name one existing target. + +SOURCE scope must name one source file. + +TEST scope must name one existing test. + +CACHE scope must name one cache entry. + +VARIABLE scope is unique and does not accept a name. + +The required PROPERTY option is immediately followed by the name of +the property to get. If the property is not set an empty value is +returned. If the SET option is given the variable is set to a boolean +value indicating whether the property has been set. If the DEFINED +option is given the variable is set to a boolean value indicating +whether the property has been defined such as with define_property. +If BRIEF_DOCS or FULL_DOCS is given then the variable is set to a +string containing documentation for the requested property. If +documentation is requested for a property that has not been defined +NOTFOUND is returned. |
