# CheckIncludeFiles
# -----------------
#
-# Check if the files can be included
+# Provides a macro to check if a list of one or more header files can
+# be included together in ``C``.
#
+# .. command:: CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES
#
+# ::
#
-# CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES(INCLUDE VARIABLE)
-#
-# ::
-#
-# INCLUDE - list of files to include
-# VARIABLE - variable to return result
-# Will be created as an internal cache variable.
-#
+# CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES("<includes>" <variable>)
#
+# Check if the given ``<includes>`` list may be included together
+# in a ``C`` source file and store the result in an internal cache
+# entry named ``<variable>``. Specify the ``<includes>`` argument
+# as a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header file names.
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
# the way the check is run:
#
-# ::
+# ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``
+# string of compile command line flags
+# ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``
+# list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
+# ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
+# list of include directories
+# ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
+# execute quietly without messages
#
-# CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
-# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
-# CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
-# CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
+# See modules :module:`CheckIncludeFile` and :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX`
+# to check for a single header file in ``C`` or ``CXX`` languages.
