get_filename_component
----------------------
Get a specific component of a full filename.
.. versionchanged:: 3.20
This command has been superseded by the :command:`cmake_path` command, except
for ``REALPATH``, which is now offered by :command:`file(REAL_PATH)`, and
``PROGRAM``, now available in :command:`separate_arguments(PROGRAM)`.
.. versionchanged:: 3.24
The undocumented feature offering the capability to query the ``Windows``
registry is superseded by
:ref:`cmake_host_system_information(QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY)<Query Windows registry>`
command.
.. code-block:: cmake
get_filename_component(<var> <FileName> <mode> [CACHE])
Sets ``<var>`` to a component of ``<FileName>``, where ``<mode>`` is one of:
::
DIRECTORY = Directory without file name
NAME = File name without directory
EXT = File name longest extension (.b.c from d/a.b.c)
NAME_WE = File name with neither the directory nor the longest extension
LAST_EXT = File name last extension (.c from d/a.b.c)
NAME_WLE = File name with neither the directory nor the last extension
PATH = Legacy alias for DIRECTORY (use for CMake <= 2.8.11)
.. versionadded:: 3.14
Added the ``LAST_EXT`` and ``NAME_WLE`` modes.
Paths are returned with forward slashes and have no trailing slashes.
If the optional ``CACHE`` argument is specified, the result variable is
added to the cache.
.. code-block:: cmake
get_filename_component(<var> <FileName> <mode> [BASE_DIR <dir>] [CACHE])
.. versionadded:: 3.4
Sets ``<var>`` to the absolute path of ``<FileName>``, where ``<mode>`` is one
of:
::
ABSOLUTE = Full path to file
REALPATH = Full path to existing file with symlinks resolved
If the provided ``<FileName>`` is a relative path, it is evaluated relative
to the given base directory ``<dir>``. If no base directory is
provided, the default base directory will be
:variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`.
Paths are returned with forward slashes and have no trailing slashes. If the
optional ``CACHE`` argument is specified, the result variable is added to the
cache.
.. code-block:: cmake
get_filename_component(<var> <FileName> PROGRAM [PROGRAM_ARGS <arg_var>] [CACHE])
The program in ``<FileName>`` will be found in the system search path or
left as a full path. If ``PROGRAM_ARGS`` is present with ``PROGRAM``, then
any command-line arguments present in the ``<FileName>`` string are split
from the program name and stored in ``<arg_var>``. This is used to
separate a program name from its arguments in a command line string.
