File manipulation command.
+This command is dedicated to file and path manipulation requiring access to the
+filesystem.
+
+For other path manipulation, handling only syntactic aspects, have a look at
+:command:`cmake_path` command.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The sub-commands `RELATIVE_PATH`_, `TO_CMAKE_PATH`_ and `TO_NATIVE_PATH`_ has
+ been superseded, respectively, by sub-commands
+ :ref:`RELATIVE_PATH <cmake_path-RELATIVE_PATH>`,
+ :ref:`CONVERT ... TO_CMAKE_PATH_LIST <cmake_path-TO_CMAKE_PATH_LIST>` and
+ :ref:`CONVERT ... TO_NATIVE_PATH_LIST <cmake_path-TO_NATIVE_PATH_LIST>` of
+ :command:`cmake_path` command.
