 <p>Specify whether an executable exports symbols for loadable modules.</p>
 <p>Normally an executable does not export any symbols because it is the
 final program.  It is possible for an executable to export symbols to
 be used by loadable modules.  When this property is set to true CMake
 will allow other targets to &#8220;link&#8221; to the executable with the
 <span class="target" id="index-0-command:target_link_libraries"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/target_link_libraries.html#command:target_link_libraries" title="target_link_libraries"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal"><span class="pre">TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES()</span></code></a> command.  On all platforms a target-level
 dependency on the executable is created for targets that link to it.
 For DLL platforms an import library will be created for the exported
 symbols and then used for linking.  All Windows-based systems
 including Cygwin are DLL platforms.  For non-DLL platforms that
 require all symbols to be resolved at link time, such as OS X, the
 module will &#8220;link&#8221; to the executable using a flag like
 <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-bundle_loader</span></code>.  For other non-DLL platforms the link rule is simply
 ignored since the dynamic loader will automatically bind symbols when
 the module is loaded.</p>
 <p>This property is initialized by the value of the variable
 <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../variable/CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS.html#variable:CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS" title="CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal"><span class="pre">CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS</span></code></a> if it is set when a target is created.</p>
