\section1 Description

This command has two modes:

\list
\li When the \c{SET} keyword is used, this command can be used to opt in to
    behavior changes in Qt's CMake API, or to explicitly opt out of them.
\li When the \c{GET} keyword is used, \c{<variable>} is set to the current
    behavior for the policy, i.e. \c OLD or \c NEW.
\endlist

\c{<policy_name>} must be the name of one of the \l{Qt CMake policies}.
Policy names have the form of \c{QTP<NNNN>} where <NNNN> is
an integer specifying the index of the policy. Using an invalid policy
name results in an error.

Code supporting older Qt versions can check the existence of a policy by
checking the value of the \c{QT_KNOWN_POLICY_<policy_name>} variable before
getting the value of \c <policy_name> or setting its behavior.

\badcode
if(QT_KNOWN_POLICY_<policy_name>)
    qt_policy(SET <policy_name> NEW)
endif()
\endcode

You can set \c behavior to one of the following options:

\list
\li \c{NEW} to opt into the new behavior
\li \c{OLD} to explicitly opt-out of it
\endlist
