+## Native file properties
+
+As of Meson 0.54.0, the `--native-file nativefile.ini` can contain:
+
+* binaries
+* paths
+* properties
+
+which are defined and used the same way as in cross files.
+The `properties` are new for Meson 0.54.0, and are read like:
+
+```meson
+x = meson.get_external_property('foobar', 'foo')
+```
+
+where `foobar` is the property name, and the optional `foo` is the fallback string value.
+
+For cross-compiled projects, `get_external_property()` reads the cross-file unless `native: true` is specified. \ No newline at end of file
