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.
