# <LANG>_CPPLINT

New in version 3.8.

This property is supported only when `<LANG>` is `C` or `CXX`.

Specify a semicolon-separated list containing a command line for the `cpplint` style checker. The Makefile Generators and the `Ninja` generator will run `cpplint` along with the compiler and report any problems.

This property is initialized by the value of the `CMAKE_<LANG>_CPPLINT` variable if it is set when a target is created.
