+
+Runs the given sequence of one or more commands with the standard
+output of each process piped to the standard input of the next.  A
+single standard error pipe is used for all processes.  If
+WORKING_DIRECTORY is given the named directory will be set as the
+current working directory of the child processes.  If TIMEOUT is given
+the child processes will be terminated if they do not finish in the
+specified number of seconds (fractions are allowed).  If
+RESULT_VARIABLE is given the variable will be set to contain the
+result of running the processes.  This will be an integer return code
+from the last child or a string describing an error condition.  If
+OUTPUT_VARIABLE or ERROR_VARIABLE are given the variable named will be
+set with the contents of the standard output and standard error pipes
+respectively.  If the same variable is named for both pipes their
+output will be merged in the order produced.  If INPUT_FILE,
+OUTPUT_FILE, or ERROR_FILE is given the file named will be attached to
+the standard input of the first process, standard output of the last
+process, or standard error of all processes respectively.  If
+OUTPUT_QUIET or ERROR_QUIET is given then the standard output or
+standard error results will be quietly ignored.  If more than one
+OUTPUT_* or ERROR_* option is given for the same pipe the precedence
+is not specified.  If no OUTPUT_* or ERROR_* options are given the
+output will be shared with the corresponding pipes of the CMake
+process itself.
+
+The execute_process command is a newer more powerful version of
+exec_program, but the old command has been kept for compatibility.
