Peter Kokot 5000f895fd CheckIncludeFiles: Document version 3.11 for LANGUAGE option
- The check_include_files(LANGUAGE) option was added in CMake 3.11.
- Additionally, this syncs the documentation style for the other modules
  that check headers as they are commonly browsed together.
- Fixed typo in CheckIncludeFile module example.

CheckIncludeFiles
-----------------
This module provides a command to check one or more C/C++ header files.
Load this module in a CMake project with:
.. code-block:: cmake
include(CheckIncludeFiles)
Commands
^^^^^^^^
This module provides the following command:
.. command:: check_include_files
Checks once whether one or more header files exist and can be included
together in C or C++ code:
.. code-block:: cmake
check_include_files(<includes> <variable> [LANGUAGE <language>])
.. rubric:: The arguments are:
``<includes>``
A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of header
files to be checked.
``<variable>``
The name of the variable to store the result of the check. This
variable will be created as an internal cache variable.
``LANGUAGE <language>``
.. versionadded:: 3.11
If set, the specified ``<language>`` compiler will be used to perform
the check. Acceptable values are ``C`` and ``CXX``. If this option is
not given, the C compiler will be used if enabled. If the C compiler
is not enabled, the C++ compiler will be used if enabled.
.. rubric:: Variables Affecting the Check
The following variables may be set before calling this command to modify
the way the check is run:
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES.rst
.. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.rst
.. versionadded:: 3.12
The ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable, if policy :policy:`CMP0075` is
set to ``NEW``.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Checking one or more C headers and storing the check result in cache
variables:
.. code-block:: cmake
include(CheckIncludeFiles)
check_include_files(sys/socket.h HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H)
if(HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H)
# The <net/if.h> header on Darwin and BSD-like systems is not self-contained
# and also requires <sys/socket.h>
check_include_files("sys/socket.h;net/if.h" HAVE_NET_IF_H)
else()
check_include_files(net/if.h HAVE_NET_IF_H)
endif()
The ``LANGUAGE`` option can be used to specify which compiler to use. For
example, checking multiple ``C++`` headers, when both ``C`` and ``CXX``
languages are enabled in the project:
.. code-block:: cmake
include(CheckIncludeFiles)
check_include_files("header_1.hpp;header_2.hpp" HAVE_HEADERS LANGUAGE CXX)
See Also
^^^^^^^^
* The :module:`CheckIncludeFile` module to check for a single C header.
* The :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module to check for a single C++ header.
