returnΒΆ
Return from a file, directory or function.
return()
Returns from a file, directory or function. When this command is
encountered in an included file (via include() or
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,
deferred calls scheduled by cmake_language(DEFER) are invoked and
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 macro, unlike a function,
is expanded in place and therefore cannot handle return().
