A short-hand signature is:

The general signature is:

This command is used to find a |SEARCH_XXX_DESC|.
A cache entry, or a normal variable if ``NO_CACHE`` is specified,
named by ``<VAR>`` is created to store the result of this command.
If the |SEARCH_XXX| is found the result is stored in the variable
and the search will not be repeated unless the variable is cleared.
If nothing is found, the result will be ``<VAR>-NOTFOUND``.
Options include:
``NAMES``
Specify one or more possible names for the |SEARCH_XXX|.
When using this to specify names with and without a version
suffix, we recommend specifying the unversioned name first
so that locally-built packages can be found before those
provided by distributions.
``HINTS``, ``PATHS``
Specify directories to search in addition to the default locations.
The ``ENV var`` sub-option reads paths from a system environment
variable.
.. versionchanged:: 3.24
On ``Windows`` platform, it is possible to include registry queries as part
of the directories, using a :ref:`dedicated syntax <Find Using Windows Registry>`.
Such specifications will be ignored on all other platforms.
``REGISTRY_VIEW``
.. versionadded:: 3.24
.. include:: FIND_XXX_REGISTRY_VIEW.txt
``PATH_SUFFIXES``
Specify additional subdirectories to check below each directory
location otherwise considered.
``DOC``
Specify the documentation string for the ``<VAR>`` cache entry.
``NO_CACHE``
.. versionadded:: 3.21
The result of the search will be stored in a normal variable rather than
a cache entry.
.. note::
If the variable is already set before the call (as a normal or cache
variable) then the search will not occur.
.. warning::
This option should be used with caution because it can greatly increase
the cost of repeated configure steps.
``REQUIRED``
.. versionadded:: 3.18
Stop processing with an error message if nothing is found, otherwise
the search will be attempted again the next time |FIND_XXX| is invoked
with the same variable.
If ``NO_DEFAULT_PATH`` is specified, then no additional paths are
added to the search.
If ``NO_DEFAULT_PATH`` is not specified, the search process is as follows:
.. |FIND_PACKAGE_ROOT_PREFIX_PATH_XXX_SUBDIR| replace::
|prefix_XXX_SUBDIR| for each ``<prefix>`` in the
:variable:`<PackageName>_ROOT` CMake variable and the
:envvar:`<PackageName>_ROOT` environment variable if
called from within a find module loaded by
:command:`find_package(<PackageName>)`
.. |CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH_XXX_SUBDIR| replace::
|prefix_XXX_SUBDIR| for each ``<prefix>`` in :variable:`CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`
.. |SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PREFIX_PATH_XXX_SUBDIR| replace::
|prefix_XXX_SUBDIR| for each ``<prefix>/[s]bin`` in ``PATH``, and
|entry_XXX_SUBDIR| for other entries in ``PATH``
.. |CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH_XXX_SUBDIR| replace::
|prefix_XXX_SUBDIR| for each ``<prefix>`` in
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH`
1. .. versionadded:: 3.12
If called from within a find module or any other script loaded by a call to
:command:`find_package(<PackageName>)`, search prefixes unique to the
current package being found. Specifically, look in the
:variable:`<PackageName>_ROOT` CMake variable and the
:envvar:`<PackageName>_ROOT` environment variable.
The package root variables are maintained as a stack, so if called from
nested find modules or config packages, root paths from the parent's find
module or config package will be searched after paths from the current
module or package. In other words, the search order would be
``<CurrentPackage>_ROOT``, ``ENV{<CurrentPackage>_ROOT}``,
``<ParentPackage>_ROOT``, ``ENV{<ParentPackage>_ROOT}``, etc.
This can be skipped if ``NO_PACKAGE_ROOT_PATH`` is passed or by setting
the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_PACKAGE_ROOT_PATH` to ``FALSE``.
See policy :policy:`CMP0074`.
* |FIND_PACKAGE_ROOT_PREFIX_PATH_XXX|
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a ``-DVAR=value``.
The values are interpreted as :ref:`semicolon-separated lists <CMake Language Lists>`.
This can be skipped if ``NO_CMAKE_PATH`` is passed or by setting the
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_PATH` to ``FALSE``.
* |CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH_XXX|
* |CMAKE_XXX_PATH|
* |CMAKE_XXX_MAC_PATH|
3. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment variables.
These are intended to be set in the user's shell configuration,
and therefore use the host's native path separator
(``;`` on Windows and ``:`` on UNIX).
This can be skipped if ``NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH`` is passed or
by setting the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH` to ``FALSE``.
* |CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH_XXX|
* |CMAKE_XXX_PATH|
* |CMAKE_XXX_MAC_PATH|
4. Search the paths specified by the ``HINTS`` option.
These should be paths computed by system introspection, such as a
hint provided by the location of another item already found.
Hard-coded guesses should be specified with the ``PATHS`` option.
5. Search the standard system environment variables.
This can be skipped if ``NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH`` is passed or by
setting the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH` to ``FALSE``.
* |SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH_XXX|
* |SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH_WINDOWS_XXX|
6. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files
for the current system. The searching of ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` can be
skipped if ``NO_CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` is passed or by setting the
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to ``FALSE``. All these locations
can be skipped if ``NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH`` is passed or by setting the
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH` to ``FALSE``.
* |CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH_XXX|
* |CMAKE_SYSTEM_XXX_PATH|
* |CMAKE_SYSTEM_XXX_MAC_PATH|
The platform paths that these variables contain are locations that
typically include installed software. An example being ``/usr/local`` for
UNIX based platforms.
7. Search the paths specified by the PATHS option
or in the short-hand version of the command.
These are typically hard-coded guesses.
The :variable:`CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH`,
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH` and
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH` variables can also cause some
of the above locations to be ignored.
.. versionadded:: 3.16
Added ``CMAKE_FIND_USE_<CATEGORY>_PATH`` variables to globally disable
various search locations.
.. |FIND_ARGS_XXX| replace:: <VAR> NAMES name
On macOS the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK` and
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE` variables determine the order of
preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components.
