+POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
+-------------------------
+
+Whether to create a position-independent target
+
+The ``POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`` property determines whether position
+independent executables or shared libraries will be created. This
+property is ``True`` by default for ``SHARED`` and ``MODULE`` library
+targets and ``False`` otherwise. This property is initialized by the value
+of the :variable:`CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` variable if it is set
+when a target is created.
