| message | |
| ------- | |
| Display a message to the user. | |
| :: | |
| message([<mode>] "message to display" ...) | |
| The optional ``<mode>`` keyword determines the type of message: | |
| :: | |
| (none) = Important information | |
| STATUS = Incidental information | |
| WARNING = CMake Warning, continue processing | |
| AUTHOR_WARNING = CMake Warning (dev), continue processing | |
| SEND_ERROR = CMake Error, continue processing, | |
| but skip generation | |
| FATAL_ERROR = CMake Error, stop processing and generation | |
| DEPRECATION = CMake Deprecation Error or Warning if variable | |
| CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED or CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED | |
| is enabled, respectively, else no message. | |
| The CMake command-line tool displays STATUS messages on stdout and all | |
| other message types on stderr. The CMake GUI displays all messages in | |
| its log area. The interactive dialogs (ccmake and CMakeSetup) show | |
| STATUS messages one at a time on a status line and other messages in | |
| interactive pop-up boxes. | |
| CMake Warning and Error message text displays using a simple markup | |
| language. Non-indented text is formatted in line-wrapped paragraphs | |
| delimited by newlines. Indented text is considered pre-formatted. |
