get_source_file_property ------------------------ Get a property for a source file. .. code-block:: cmake get_source_file_property( [DIRECTORY | TARGET_DIRECTORY ] ) Gets a property from a source file. The value of the property is stored in the specified ````. If the ```` is not a source file, or the source property is not found, ```` will be set to ``NOTFOUND``. If the source property was defined to be an ``INHERITED`` property (see :command:`define_property`), the search will include the relevant parent scopes, as described for the :command:`define_property` command. By default, the source file's property will be read from the current source directory's scope. .. versionadded:: 3.18 Directory scope can be overridden with one of the following sub-options: ``DIRECTORY `` The source file property will be read from the ```` directory's scope. CMake must already know about that source directory, either by having added it through a call to :command:`add_subdirectory` or ```` being the top level source directory. Relative paths are treated as relative to the current source directory. ``TARGET_DIRECTORY `` The source file property will be read from the directory scope in which ```` was created (```` must therefore already exist). Use :command:`set_source_files_properties` to set property values. Source file properties usually control how the file is built. One property that is always there is :prop_sf:`LOCATION`. .. note:: The :prop_sf:`GENERATED` source file property may be globally visible. See its documentation for details.
