+INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
+-----------------------------------
+
+Whether consumers need to create a position-independent target
+
+The ``INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`` property informs consumers of
+this target whether they must set their
+:prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` property to ``ON``. If this
+property is set to ``ON``, then the :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`
+property on all consumers will be set to ``ON``. Similarly, if this
+property is set to ``OFF``, then the :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`
+property on all consumers will be set to ``OFF``. If this property is
+undefined, then consumers will determine their
+:prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` property by other means. Consumers
+must ensure that the targets that they link to have a consistent
+requirement for their ``INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`` property.
+
+Contents of ``INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`` 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.
