+List of C features known to this version of CMake.

+The features listed in this global property may be known to be available to the

+be listed in the :variable:`CMAKE_C_COMPILE_FEATURES` variable.
+
+The features listed here may be used with the :command:`target_compile_features`
+command.
+
+The features known to this version of CMake are:
+
+``c_function_prototypes``
+ Function prototypes, as defined in ``ISO/IEC 9899:1990``.
+
+``c_restrict``
+ ``restrict`` keyword, as defined in ``ISO/IEC 9899:1999``.

+C_STANDARD
+----------
+
+The C standard whose features are requested to build this target.
+
+This property specifies the C standard whose features are requested
+to build this target. For some compilers, this results in adding a
+flag such as ``-std=c11`` to the compile line.
+
+Supported values are ``90``, ``99`` and ``11``.
+
+If the value requested does not result in a compile flag being added for
+the compiler in use, a previous standard flag will be added instead. This
+means that using:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set_property(TARGET tgt PROPERTY C_STANDARD 11)
+
+with a compiler which does not support ``-std=c11`` or an equivalent
+flag will not result in an error or warning, but will instead add the
+``-std=c99`` or ``-std=c90`` flag if supported. This "decay" behavior may
+be controlled with the :prop_tgt:`C_STANDARD_REQUIRED` target property.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of
+the :variable:`CMAKE_C_STANDARD` variable if it is set when a target
+is created.
