      "Add a subdirectory to the build. The source_dir specifies the "

      "located. If it is a relative "
      "path it will be evaluated with respect to the current "
      "directory (the typical usage), but it may also be an absolute path. "
      "The binary_dir specifies the directory in which to place the output "
      "files. If it is a relative path it will be evaluated with respect "
      "to the current output directory, but it may also be an absolute "
      "path. If binary_dir is not specified, the value of source_dir, "
      "before expanding any relative path, will be used (the typical usage). "

      "If the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL argument is provided then targets in the "
      "subdirectory will not be included in the ALL target of the parent "
      "directory by default, and will be excluded from IDE project files.  "
      "Users must explicitly build targets in the subdirectory.  "
      "This is meant for use when the subdirectory contains a separate part "
      "of the project that is useful but not necessary, such as a set of "
      "examples.  "
      "Typically the subdirectory should contain its own project() command "
      "invocation so that a full build system will be generated in the "
      "subdirectory (such as a VS IDE solution file).  "
      "Note that inter-target dependencies supercede this exclusion.  "
      "If a target built by the parent project depends on a target in the "
      "subdirectory, the dependee target will be included in the parent "
      "project build system to satisfy the dependency."
