<PackageName>_ROOT
------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.12
Calls to :command:`find_package(<PackageName>)` will search in prefixes
specified by the ``<PackageName>_ROOT`` CMake variable, where
``<PackageName>`` is the (case-preserved) name given to the
:command:`find_package` call and ``_ROOT`` is literal.
For example, ``find_package(Foo)`` will search prefixes specified in the
``Foo_ROOT`` CMake variable (if set). See policy :policy:`CMP0074`.
This variable may hold a single prefix or a
:ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of multiple prefixes.
See also the :envvar:`<PackageName>_ROOT` environment variable.
