# LINK_OPTIONS

List of options to use for the link step of shared library, module and executable targets. Targets that are static libraries need to use the `STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS` target property.

This property holds a ;-list of options specified so far for its target. Use the `target_link_options()` command to append more options.

This property is initialized by the `LINK_OPTIONS` directory property when a target is created, and is used by the generators to set the options for the compiler.

Contents of `LINK_OPTIONS` may use “generator expressions” with the syntax `$<...>`. See the `cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions. See the `cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.

Note

This property must be used in preference to `LINK_FLAGS` property.
