INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
-----------------------------
-List of public include directories for a library.
-
-The :command:`target_include_directories` command populates this property
-with values given to the ``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` keywords. Projects
-may also get and set the property directly.
-
-Targets may populate this property to publish the include directories
-required to compile against the headers for the target. Consuming
-targets can add entries to their own :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`
-property such as ``$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>``
-to use the include directories specified in the interface of ``foo``.
-
-Contents of ``INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`` may use "generator expressions"
-with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
-manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)`
-manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
