When more than one value is given to the ``NAMES`` option this command by
default will consider one name at a time and search every directory
for it. The ``NAMES_PER_DIR`` option tells this command to consider one
directory at a time and search for all names in it.
Each library name given to the ``NAMES`` option is first considered
as a library file name and then considered with platform-specific
prefixes (e.g. ``lib``) and suffixes (e.g. ``.so``). Therefore one
may specify library file names such as ``libfoo.a`` directly.
This can be used to locate static libraries on UNIX-like systems.
If the library found is a framework, then ``<VAR>`` will be set to the full
path to the framework ``<fullPath>/A.framework``. When a full path to a
framework is used as a library, CMake will use a ``-framework A``, and a
``-F<fullPath>`` to link the framework to the target.
If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS` global property is set
all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``64/`` appended, and
with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib64/``. This property is
automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at
least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command
is enabled.
