| return |
| ------ |
| |
| Return from a file, directory or function. |

| .. code-block:: cmake |
| |
| return() |
| |
| Returns from a file, directory or function. When this command is |
| encountered in an included file (via :command:`include` or |
| :command:`find_package`), it causes processing of the current file to stop |
| and control is returned to the including file. If it is encountered in a |
| file which is not included by another file, e.g. a ``CMakeLists.txt``, |
| control is returned to the parent directory if there is one. If return is |
| called in a function, control is returned to the caller of the function. |
| |
| Note that a :command:`macro <macro>`, unlike a :command:`function <function>`, |
| is expanded in place and therefore cannot handle ``return()``. |
