    \title Module qbs
    \brief Comprises general properties.

    The \c qbs module is implicitly loaded in every product. It contains properties of the current
    build environment, independent of the used programming languages and toolchains.


    \section1 buildVariant

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"debug"}
    \endtable

    Contains the name of the build variant for the current build.


    \section1 debugInformation

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}     \li \c bool
    \row    \li \b{Default:}  \li \c{true} for debug builds, \c{false} otherwise
    \endtable

    Specifies whether to generate debug information.


    \section1 enableDebugCode

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}     \li \c bool
    \row    \li \b{Default:}  \li \c{true} for debug builds, \c{false} otherwise
    \endtable

    Specifies whether to compile debug code in the product.
    This is typically enabled for debug builds and disabled for release builds.


    \section1 optimization

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Allowed Values:}  \li \c{"none"}, \c{"fast"}, \c{"small"}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"none"} for debug builds, \c{"fast"} for release builds
    \endtable

    Specifies the general type of optimization that should be performed by all toolchains.


    \section1 hostOS

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList} (read only)
    \endtable

    This property is set by \QBS internally and specifies the OS \QBS is running on.
    The possible values for this property are the values of \c targetOS,
    though some may not be supported.


    \section1 hostOSVersion

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string} (read only)
    \endtable

    The host operating system version. Currently only defined for Windows and OS X.
    Consists of two or three numbers separated by dots, for instance "10.9" or "6.3.9600".


    \section1 hostOSBuildVersion

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string} (read only)
    \endtable

    The host operating system's build version. Currently only defined for Windows and OS X.
    On Windows, this is the 4 or 5 digit Windows build number and is equivalent to \c versionPatch.
    On OS X, this is a standard build number in the Apple versioning scheme, for instance "13C64".


    \section1 versionMajor

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{int}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{hostOSVersionParts[0]}
    \endtable

    The host operating system major version.


    \section1 versionMinor

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{int}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{hostOSVersionParts[1]}
    \endtable

    The host operating system minor version.


    \section1 versionParts

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{list}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{empty}
    \endtable

    The host operating system version as a list.
    For instance, Windows 8.1 (version 6.3.9600) would correspond to a value of \c[6, 3, 9600].


    \section1 versionPatch

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{int}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{hostOSVersionParts[2]}
    \endtable

    The host operating system patch level.


    \section1 targetOS

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Possible Values:} \li one or more of:
            \c{"aix"},
            \c{"android"},
            \c{"blackberry"},
            \c{"bsd"},

            \c{"integrity"},
            \c{"ios"},
            \c{"ios-simulator"},
            \c{"irix"},
            \c{"linux"},
            \c{"lynx"},
            \c{"osx"},
            \c{"msdos"},
            \c{"nacl"},
            \c{"netbsd"},
            \c{"openbsd"},
            \c{"os2"},
            \c{"os2emx"},
            \c{"osf"},
            \c{"qnx"},
            \c{"qnx6"},
            \c{"reliant"},
            \c{"sco"},
            \c{"solaris"},
            \c{"symbian"},
            \c{"ultrix"},
            \c{"unix"},
            \c{"unixware"},
            \c{"vxworks"},
            \c{"windows"},
            \c{"windowsce"},
            \c{"windowsphone"},
            \c{"winrt"}
    \endtable

    Specifies the OS you want to build the project for.
    This is typically set in a profile.


    \section1 architecture

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \endtable

    Specifies the target platform's processor architecture.
    This is typically set in a profile.
    Currently used values are: \c{"x86"}, \c{"x86_64"} and \c{"arm"}.


    \section1 toolchain

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Allowed Values:}  \li \c{"gcc"}, \c{"llvm"}, \c{"clang"}, \c{"mingw"}, \c{"msvc"}
    \endtable

    Specifies the attributes of the toolchain that is going to be used for this build.


    \section1 sysroot

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{undefined}
    \endtable

    Specifies the sysroot of the target platform. This property is typically set in a profile
    for cross-compiling.


    \section1 install

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{false}
    \endtable

    Specifies whether to install a certain set of files.
    This is typically set in a \c{Group} item to mark a number of files as installable.
    \note Artifacts for which this property is enabled automatically receive the file tag
          "installable". This is useful for writing packaging-related rules.

    \section1 installSourceBase

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li see below
    \endtable

    Specifies the base directory of the local files that are going to be installed. The
    source base directory is omitted from the target directory path specified in \c{installDir}.
    The default value of this property is the directory of the current file to be installed,
    relative to the product's source directory.

    \section1 installDir

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{undefined}
    \endtable

    Specifies the installation directory for the files of a product or a \c{Group}. The value of
    this property is a path that is relative to \c installPrefix.

    \section1 installPrefix

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{empty}
    \endtable

    Specifies the global installation prefix. It is implicitly prepended to all values
    of \c installDir. The \c installPrefix itself is relative to the \c installRoot in the context
    of installation.

    \section1 installRoot

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{<build dir>/install-root}
    \endtable

    Specifies the global installation root. It is implicitly prepended to all values
    of \c installPrefix in the context of installation.
    \note This property is fundamentally different from \c installDir and \c installPrefix in that
    it must not be visible to the code being built. In fact, the install root is often just a
    temporary location used to package the binaries, which should therefore not assume they will
    be in that location at run-time.

    \section1 pathListSeparator

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \endtable

    Holds the platform-specific separator for path list that is used in environment variables or
    other contexts. E.g. on Windows is this \c{";"}, on Unix derivatives \c{":"}.
