+CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT
+---------------------
+
+When enabled by the :manual:`cmake <cmake(1)>` ``--log-context`` command line
+option or the :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW` variable, the
+:command:`message` command converts the ``CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT`` list into a
+dot-separated string surrounded by square brackets and prepends it to each line
+for messages of log levels ``NOTICE`` and below.
+
+For logging contexts to work effectively, projects should generally
+``APPEND`` and ``POP_BACK`` an item to the current value of
+``CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT`` rather than replace it.
+Projects should not assume the message context at the top of the source tree
+is empty, as there are scenarios where the context might have already been set
+(e.g. hierarchical projects).
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Valid context names are restricted to anything that could be used
+ as a CMake variable name. All names that begin with an underscore
+ or the string ``cmake_`` are also reserved for use by CMake and
+ should not be used by projects.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ function(bar)
+ list(APPEND CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT "bar")
+ message(VERBOSE "bar VERBOSE message")
+ endfunction()
+
+ function(baz)

+ message(VERBOSE "Before `foo`")
+ foo()
+ message(VERBOSE "After `foo`")
+
+ list(POP_BACK CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT)
+
+
+Which results in the following output:

+.. code-block:: none
+
+ -- [top] Before `foo`
+ -- [top.foo.bar] bar VERBOSE message
+ -- [top.foo] foo TRACE message

+CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL
+-----------------------
+
+When set, this variable specifies the logging level used by the
+:command:`message` command. Valid values are the same as those for the
+``--log-level`` command line option of the :manual:`cmake(1)` program.
+If this variable is set and the ``--log-level`` command line option is

+
+The main advantage to using this variable is to make a log level persist
+between CMake runs. Setting it as a cache variable will ensure that
+subsequent CMake runs will continue to use the chosen log level.
+
+Projects should not set this variable, it is intended for users so that
+they may control the log level according to their own needs.
