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 :command:`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 :command:`get_property` command.
