It handles the +``REQUIRED``, ``QUIET`` and version-related arguments of ``find_package``. +It also sets the ``<PackageName>_FOUND`` variable. The package is +considered found if all variables listed contain valid results, e.g. +valid filepaths. + +.. command:: find_package_handle_standard_args + + There are two signatures:: + + find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName> + (DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>) + <required-var>... + ) + + find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName> + [FOUND_VAR <result-var>] + [REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...] + [VERSION_VAR <version-var>] + [HANDLE_COMPONENTS] + [CONFIG_MODE] + [FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>] + ) + + The ``<PackageName>_FOUND`` variable will be set to ``TRUE`` if all + the variables ``<required-var>...`` are valid and any optional + constraints are satisfied, and ``FALSE`` otherwise. A success or + failure message may be displayed based on the results and on + whether the ``REQUIRED`` and/or ``QUIET`` option was given to + the :command:`find_package` call. + + The options are: + + ``(DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>)`` + In the simple signature this specifies the failure message. + Use ``DEFAULT_MSG`` to ask for a default message to be computed + (recommended). Not valid in the full signature. + + ``FOUND_VAR <result-var>`` + Obselete. Specifies either ``<PackageName>_FOUND`` or + ``<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND`` as the result variable. This exists only + for compatibility with older versions of CMake and is now ignored. + Result variables of both names are always set for compatibility. + + ``REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...`` + Specify the variables which are required for this package. + + ``VERSION_VAR <version-var>`` + Specify the name of a variable that holds the version of the package + that has been found. This version will be checked against the + (potentially) specified required version given to the + :command:`find_package` call, including its ``EXACT`` option. + The default messages include information about the required + version and the version which has been actually found, both + if the version is ok or not. + + ``HANDLE_COMPONENTS`` + Enable handling of package components.

This implies + a ``VERSION_VAR`` value of ``<PackageName>_VERSION``. The command + will automatically check whether the package configuration file + was found. + + ``FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>`` + Specify a custom failure message instead of using the default + generated message. Not recommended. + +Example for the simple signature: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + find_package_handle_standard_args(LibXml2 DEFAULT_MSG + LIBXML2_LIBRARY LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR) + +The ``LibXml2`` package is considered to be found if both +``LIBXML2_LIBRARY`` and ``LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR`` are valid. +Then also ``LibXml2_FOUND`` is set to ``TRUE``. If it is not found +and ``REQUIRED`` was used, it fails with a +:command:`message(FATAL_ERROR)`, independent whether ``QUIET`` was +used or not. If it is found, success will be reported, including +the content of the first ``<required-var>``. On repeated CMake runs, +the same message will not be printed again. + +Example for the full signature: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + find_package_handle_standard_args(LibArchive + REQUIRED_VARS LibArchive_LIBRARY LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR + VERSION_VAR LibArchive_VERSION) + +In this case, the ``LibArchive`` package is considered to be found if +both ``LibArchive_LIBRARY`` and ``LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR`` are valid. +Also the version of ``LibArchive`` will be checked by using the version +contained in ``LibArchive_VERSION``.
