Hello, In many cmake modules, I see<>  used around names, as in:

What does this<SOMENAME>  notation mean?  I looked around but missed
this in the documentation.

Thanks,

The only modules that have this are the ones that can be considered "internal" that add compiler support, etc - hence the lack of documentation. They're used by the generators to produce the correct commands. If you're doing application development using a CMake-based build system, you can (and probably should) ignore them. If you are trying to add a new compiler or generator, you will want to look in the C++ source and/or give the list more information on what you're trying to do.

Hope this helps!
