Use the :command:`file(WRITE)` command instead. + +:: + + write_file(filename "message to write"... [APPEND]) + +The first argument is the file name, the rest of the arguments are +messages to write. If the argument ``APPEND`` is specified, then the +message will be appended. + +NOTE 1: :command:`file(WRITE)` and :command:`file(APPEND)` do exactly +the same as this one but add some more functionality. + +NOTE 2: When using ``write_file`` the produced file cannot be used as an +input to CMake (CONFIGURE_FILE, source file ...) because it will lead +to an infinite loop. Use :command:`configure_file` if you want to +generate input files to CMake. |
