# get_cmake_property

Get a global property of the CMake instance.

    get_cmake_property(VAR property)

Get a global property from the CMake instance. The value of the property is stored in the variable `VAR`. If the property is not found, `VAR` will be set to “NOTFOUND”. See the `cmake-properties(7)` manual for available properties.

See also the `get_property()` command `GLOBAL` option.

In addition to global properties, this command (for historical reasons) also supports the `VARIABLES` and `MACROS` directory properties. It also supports a special `COMPONENTS` global property that lists the components given to the `install()` command.
