+<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER
+------------------------
+
+This property is implemented only when ``<LANG>`` is ``C`` or ``CXX``.
+
+Specify a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` containing a command line
+for a compiler launching tool. The :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the
+:generator:`Ninja` generator will run this tool and pass the compiler and
+its arguments to the tool. Some example tools are distcc and ccache.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of
+the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable if it is set
+when a target is created.
