+Find-Package Tool Mode
+======================
+
+CMake provides a helper for Makefile-based projects with the signature::
+
+  cmake --find-package <options>...
+
+This runs in a pkg-config like mode.
+
+Search a package using :command:`find_package()` and print the resulting flags
+to stdout.  This can be used to use cmake instead of pkg-config to find
+installed libraries in plain Makefile-based projects or in autoconf-based
+projects (via ``share/aclocal/cmake.m4``).
+
+.. note::
+  This mode is not well-supported due to some technical limitations.
+  It is kept for compatibility but should not be used in new projects.
