Recipe tools¶
Tools are all things that can be imported and used in Conan recipes.
The import path is always like:
from conan.tools.cmake import CMakeToolchain, CMakeDeps, CMake
from conan.tools.microsoft import MSBuildToolchain, MSBuildDeps, MSBuild
The main guidelines are:
Everything that recipes can import belong to
from conan.tools. Any other thing is private implementation and shouldn’t be used in recipes.Only documented, public (not preceded by
_) tools can be used in recipes.
