+load_command
+------------
+
+Load a command into a running CMake.
+
+::
+
+ load_command(COMMAND_NAME <loc1> [loc2 ...])
+
+The given locations are searched for a library whose name is
+cmCOMMAND_NAME. If found, it is loaded as a module and the command is
+added to the set of available CMake commands. Usually, TRY_COMPILE is
+used before this command to compile the module. If the command is
+successfully loaded a variable named
+
+::
+
+ CMAKE_LOADED_COMMAND_<COMMAND_NAME>
+
+will be set to the full path of the module that was loaded. Otherwise
+the variable will not be set.
