+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.
