+INTERFACE_SOURCES
+-----------------
+
+List of interface sources to compile into consuming targets.
+
+Targets may populate this property to publish the sources
+for consuming targets to compile. The :command:`target_sources` 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
+sources of the consumer.
+
+Contents of ``INTERFACE_SOURCES`` 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.
