| LINK_LIBRARIES |
| -------------- |
| |
| List of direct link dependencies. |
| |
| This property specifies the list of libraries or targets which will be |
| used for linking. In addition to accepting values from the |
| :command:`target_link_libraries` command, values may be set directly on |
| any target using the :command:`set_property` command. |
| |
| The value of this property is used by the generators to construct the |
| link rule for the target. The direct link dependencies are linked first, |
| followed by indirect dependencies from the transitive closure of the |
| direct dependencies' :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` properties. |
| See policy :policy:`CMP0022`. |
| |
| Contents of ``LINK_LIBRARIES`` may use |
| :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` with the |
| syntax ``$<...>``. Policy :policy:`CMP0131` affects the behavior of the |
| :genex:`LINK_ONLY` generator expression for this property. |
| |
| See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual for more on defining |
| buildsystem properties. |

| In advanced use cases, the list of direct link dependencies specified |
| by this property may be updated by usage requirements from dependencies. |
| See the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES_DIRECT` and |
| :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES_DIRECT_EXCLUDE` target properties. |
