The ``NAMES_PER_DIR`` option tells this command to consider one directory at a time and search for all names in it. Each library name given to the ``NAMES`` option is first considered as a library file name and then considered with platform-specific prefixes (e.g. ``lib``) and suffixes (e.g. ``.so``). Therefore one may specify library file names such as ``libfoo.a`` directly. This can be used to locate static libraries on UNIX-like systems. If the library found is a framework, then ```` will be set to the full path to the framework ``/A.framework``. When a full path to a framework is used as a library, CMake will use a ``-framework A``, and a ``-F`` to link the framework to the target. If the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX` variable is set all search paths will be tested as normal, with the suffix appended, and with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX}/``. This variable overrides the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS`, :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS`, and :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS` global properties. If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS` global property is set all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``32/`` appended, and with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib32/``. This property is automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command is enabled. If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS` global property is set all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``x32/`` appended, and with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``libx32/``. This property is automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command is enabled. If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS` global property is set all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``64/`` appended, and with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib64/``. This property is automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command is enabled.
