## Suppressing checks

Checks can be suppressed using comment-based 'pragmas' at the end of the source line:

```cmake
set_target_properties(
my_lib
PROPERTIES
CXX_STANDARD 14 # nocheck
CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON
CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF
)
```

```cmake
# nolint

# check-cmake ignore

# cmake-check ignore
# cmake-lint ignore

# check-cmake disable
# lint-cmake disable
