# LINK_DIRECTORIES

Added in version 3.13.

List of directories to use for the link step of shared library, module and executable targets.

This property holds a semicolon-separated list of directories specified so far for its target. Use the `target_link_directories()` command to append more search directories.

This property is initialized by the `LINK_DIRECTORIES` directory property when a target is created, and is used by the generators to set the search directories for the linker.

Contents of `LINK_DIRECTORIES` may use "generator expressions" with the syntax `$<...>`. See the `cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions. See the `cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
