+CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES
+---------------------------
+
+Prefixes to prepend when looking for libraries.
+
+This specifies what prefixes to add to library names when the
+:command:`find_library` command looks for libraries. On UNIX systems this is
+typically ``lib``, meaning that when trying to find the ``foo`` library it
+will look for ``libfoo``.
