"Define one property in a scope for use with the "

"This is primarily useful to associate documentation with property "
"names that may be retrieved with the get_property command. "
"The first argument determines the kind of scope in which the "
"property should be used. It must be one of the following:\n"
" GLOBAL = associated with the global namespace\n"
" DIRECTORY = associated with one directory\n"
" TARGET = associated with one target\n"
" SOURCE = associated with one source file\n"

" TEST = associated with a test named with add_test\n"
" VARIABLE = documents a CMake language variable\n"
" CACHED_VARIABLE = documents a CMake cache variable\n"
"Note that unlike set_property and get_property no actual scope "
"needs to be given; only the kind of scope is important.\n"
"The required PROPERTY option is immediately followed by the name "
"of the property being defined.\n"
"If the INHERITED option then the get_property command will chain "
"up to the next higher scope when the requested property is not "
"set in the scope given to the command. "
"DIRECTORY scope chains to GLOBAL. "
"TARGET, SOURCE, and TEST chain to DIRECTORY.\n"
"The BRIEF_DOCS and FULL_DOCS options are followed by strings to be "
"associated with the property as its brief and full documentation. "
"Corresponding options to the get_property command will retrieve the "
"documentation.";
