# CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_ENABLE_EXPORTS

Added in version 3.27.

Specify whether executables export symbols for loadable modules.

This variable is used to initialize the `ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property for executable targets when they are created by calls to the `add_executable()` command. See the property documentation for details.

This variable supersedes the `CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS` variable.
