"Adds a library target. SHARED, STATIC or MODULE keywords are used "
"to set the library type. If the keyword MODULE appears, the library "
"type is set to MH_BUNDLE on systems which use dyld. On systems "
"without dyld, MODULE is treated like SHARED. If no keywords appear "
" as the second argument, the type defaults to the current value of "
"BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. If this variable is not set, the type defaults "
"to STATIC.\n"
"If EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL is given the target will not be built by default. "
"It will be built only if the user explicitly builds the target or "
"another target that requires the target depends on it."

"The add_library command can also create IMPORTED library "
"targets using this signature:\n"
" add_library(<name> <SHARED|STATIC|MODULE> IMPORTED)\n"
"An IMPORTED library target references a library file located "
"outside the project. "
"No rules are generated to build it. "
"The target name has scope in the directory in which it is created "
"and below. "
"It may be referenced like any target built within the project. "
"IMPORTED libraries are useful for convenient reference from "
"commands like target_link_libraries. "
"Details about the imported library are specified by setting "
"properties whose names begin in \"IMPORTED_\". "
"The most important such property is IMPORTED_LOCATION "
"(and its per-configuration version IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>) "
"which specifies the location of the main library file on disk. "
"See documentation of the IMPORTED_* properties for more information."
