+LOCATION_<CONFIG>
+-----------------
+
+Read-only property providing a target location on disk.
+
+A read-only property that indicates where a target's main file is
+located on disk for the configuration <CONFIG>. The property is
+defined only for library and executable targets. An imported target
+may provide a set of configurations different from that of the
+importing project. By default CMake looks for an exact-match but
+otherwise uses an arbitrary available configuration. Use the
+MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> property to map imported configurations
+explicitly.
+
+Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
+reading this property. These include properties whose names match
+"(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CONFIG>)?",
+"(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)", or "LINKER_LANGUAGE". Failure to follow
+this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the location of the target
+undefined.
