<p>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' <span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES"></span><a class="reference internal" href="INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES.html#prop_tgt:INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES" title="INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES</span></code></a> properties.

This tells the generators that the named libraries must be looked up in
the scope of the caller rather than in the scope in which the
