6The ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` environment variable may be set to a list of
7directories specifying installation *prefixes* to be searched by the
8:command:`find_package`, :command:`find_program`, :command:`find_library`,
9:command:`find_file`, and :command:`find_path` commands.  Each command will
10add appropriate subdirectories (like ``bin``, ``lib``, or ``include``)
11as specified in its own documentation.
12
13This variable may hold a single prefix or a list of prefixes separated
14by ``:`` on UNIX or ``;`` on Windows (the same as the ``PATH`` environment
15variable convention on those platforms).
