+SKIP_LINTING
+------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.27
+
+This property allows you to exclude a specific source file
+from the linting process. The linting process involves running
+tools such as :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPLINT`, :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY`,
+:prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, and :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE`
+on the source files. By setting `SKIP_LINTING` on a source file,
+the mentioned linting tools will not be executed for that
+particular file.
+
+EXAMPLE
+^^^^^^^
+
+Consider a `C++` project that includes multiple source files,
+such as `main.cpp`, `things.cpp`, and `generatedBindings.cpp`.
+In this example, you want to exclude the `generatedBindings.cpp`
+file from the linting process. To achieve this, you can utilize
+the `SKIP_LINTING` property with the `set_source_files_properties`
+command as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ add_executable(MyApp main.cpp things.cpp generatedBindings.cpp)
+
+ set_source_files_properties(generatedBindings.cpp PROPERTIES
+ SKIP_LINTING ON
+ )
+
+In the provided code snippet, the `SKIP_LINTING` property is set to `ON`
+for the `generatedBindings.cpp` source file. As a result, when the linting
+tools, such as :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPLINT`, :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY`,
+:prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, and :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE`,
+are executed, they will skip analyzing the `generatedBindings.cpp` file.
+
+By using the `SKIP_LINTING` property, you can selectively exclude specific
+source files from the linting process. This allows you to focus the
+linting tools on the relevant parts of your project, enhancing the efficiency
+and effectiveness of the linting workflow.
