# get_target_property

Get a property from a target.

    get_target_property(VAR target property)

Get a property from a target. The value of the property is stored in the variable VAR. If the property is not found, VAR will be set to “NOTFOUND”. Use set_target_properties to set property values. Properties are usually used to control how a target is built, but some query the target instead. This command can get properties for any target so far created. The targets do not need to be in the current CMakeLists.txt file.

See also the more general get_property() command.
