-FindIconv
----------
-
-This module finds the ``iconv()`` POSIX.1 functions on the system.
-These functions might be provided in the regular C library or externally
-in the form of an additional library.
-
-The following variables are provided to indicate iconv support:
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_FOUND
-
-  Variable indicating if the iconv support was found.
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_INCLUDE_DIRS
-
-  The directories containing the iconv headers.
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_LIBRARIES
-
-  The iconv libraries to be linked.
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_IS_BUILT_IN
-
-  A variable indicating whether iconv support is stemming from the
-  C library or not. Even if the C library provides `iconv()`, the presence of
-  an external `libiconv` implementation might lead to this being false.
-
-Additionally, the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` target is being provided:
-
-.. variable:: Iconv::Iconv
-
-  Imported target for using iconv.
-
-The following cache variables may also be set:
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR
-
-  The directory containing the iconv headers.
-
-.. variable:: Iconv_LIBRARY
-
-  The iconv library (if not implicitly given in the C library).
-
-.. note::
-  On POSIX platforms, iconv might be part of the C library and the cache
-  variables ``Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR`` and ``Iconv_LIBRARY`` might be empty.
