List of public |property_name| requirements for a library.

Targets may populate this property to publish the |property_name| required to compile against the headers for the target. The |command_name| command populates this property with values given to the PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Projects may also get and set the property directly.

When target dependencies are specified using :command:target_link_libraries, CMake will read this property from all target dependencies to determine the build properties of the consumer.

Contents of |PROPERTY_INTERFACE_NAME| may use "generator expressions" with the syntax $<...>. See the :manual:cmake-generator-expressions(7) manual for available expressions. See the :manual:cmake-buildsystem(7) -manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
