The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to
specify the scope of the items following them. ``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC``
items will populate the :prop_tgt:`SOURCES` property of
``<target>``, which are used when building the target itself.
``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_SOURCES` property of ``<target>``, which are used
-when building dependents. (:ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>`
-only support ``INTERFACE`` items because they are not build targets.)

Arguments to ``target_sources`` may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)`
manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
