Could you paste link to the CMake docs page where this variable is described?

Modify C/C++ flags. For example, something along these lines

string(REGEX REPLACE "/MD" "" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS})
string(REGEX REPLACE "-MT" "" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS})
target_compile_options(myexe PRIVATE $<$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:MSVC>:-MT>)
