+LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC
+----------------------
+
+End a link line such that static system libraries are used.
+
+Some linkers support switches such as -Bstatic and -Bdynamic to
+determine whether to use static or shared libraries for -lXXX options.
+CMake uses these options to set the link type for libraries whose full
+paths are not known or (in some cases) are in implicit link
+directories for the platform. By default CMake adds an option at the
+end of the library list (if necessary) to set the linker search type
+back to its starting type. This property switches the final linker
+search type to -Bstatic regardless of how it started.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of the variable
+CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC if it is set when a target is created.
+
+See also LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC.
