# SUBDIRECTORIES

Added in version 3.7.

This read-only directory property contains a semicolon-separated list of subdirectories processed so far by the `add_subdirectory()` or `subdirs()` commands. Each entry is the absolute path to the source directory (containing the `CMakeLists.txt` file). This is suitable to pass to the `get_property()` command `DIRECTORY` option.

Note

The `subdirs()` command does not process its arguments until after the calling directory is fully processed. Therefore looking up this property in the current directory will not see them.
