Input file lines of the form ``#cmakedefine01 VAR`` will be replaced with
either ``#define VAR 1`` or ``#define VAR 0`` similarly.
+The result lines (with the exception of the ``#undef`` comments) can be
+indented using spaces and/or tabs between the ``#`` character
+and the ``cmakedefine`` or ``cmakedefine01`` words. This whitespace
+indentation will be preserved in the output lines::
+
+ # cmakedefine VAR
+ # cmakedefine01 VAR
+
+will be replaced, if ``VAR`` is defined, with::
+
+ # define VAR
+ # define VAR 1
If the input file is modified the build system will re-run CMake to
re-configure the file and generate the build system again.
