+If ``FOLLOW_SYMLINK_CHAIN`` is specified, ``COPY`` will recursively resolve
+the symlinks at the paths given until a real file is found, and install
+a corresponding symlink in the destination for each symlink encountered. For
+each symlink that is installed, the resolution is stripped of the directory,
+leaving only the filename, meaning that the new symlink points to a file in
+the same directory as the symlink. This feature is useful on some Unix systems,
+where libraries are installed as a chain of symlinks with version numbers, with
+less specific versions pointing to more specific versions.
+``FOLLOW_SYMLINK_CHAIN`` will install all of these symlinks and the library
+itself into the destination directory. For example, if you have the following
+directory structure:
+
+* ``/opt/foo/lib/libfoo.so.1.2.3``
+* ``/opt/foo/lib/libfoo.so.1.2 -> libfoo.so.1.2.3``
+* ``/opt/foo/lib/libfoo.so.1 -> libfoo.so.1.2``
+* ``/opt/foo/lib/libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1``
+
+and you do:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ file(COPY /opt/foo/lib/libfoo.so DESTINATION lib FOLLOW_SYMLINK_CHAIN)
+
+This will install all of the symlinks and ``libfoo.so.1.2.3`` itself into
+``lib``.
