# 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.
