# get_source_file_property

Get a property for a source file.

    get_source_file_property(VAR file property)

Get a property from a source file. 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_source_files_properties()` to set property values. Source file properties usually control how the file is built. One property that is always there is `LOCATION`
