There is also the command line: cmake --help-property-list However, the property mechanism allows project-specific extension of the set of properties on many of these entities. So these lists are incomplete. To see about variables and cache variables, see the cmake command: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:get_cmake_property which, at present, can list for you: VARIABLES, CACHE_VARIABLES, COMMANDS, MACROS, and COMPONENTS > > Are more software developers interested to query settings only from a > subset of items? > I'm sure many are interested. Is there a concrete problem you are trying to solve by asking these questions? If you have a specific problem, perhaps there's a way to get something working for you without these additions to CMake. Can you tell us if you have a specific problem you're trying to solve? > > Regards, > Markus >
