"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.\n"
"The read-only property \"<CONFIG>_LOCATION\" provides the full "
"path to the file on disk that will be created for the target when "
"building under configuration <CONFIG> "
"(in upper-case, such as \"DEBUG_LOCATION\"). "
"The read-only property \"LOCATION\" specifies "
"the full path to the file on disk that will be created for the "
"target. The path may contain a build-system-specific portion that "
"is replaced at build time with the configuration getting built "
"(such as \"$(ConfigurationName)\" in VS). "
"This is very useful for executable targets to get "
"the path to the executable file for use in a custom command.\n"
"The read-only property \"TYPE\" returns which type the specified "
"target has (EXECUTABLE, STATIC_LIBRARY, SHARED_LIBRARY, "
"MODULE_LIBRARY, UTILITY, INSTALL_FILES or INSTALL_PROGRAMS). "
"This command can get properties for any target so far created. "
"The targets do not need to be in the current CMakeLists.txt file.";
