+Installs a runtime dependency set created by one or more
+`install(TARGETS)`_ or `install(IMPORTED_RUNTIME_ARTIFACTS)`_ commands. The
+dependencies of targets belonging to a runtime dependency set are installed in
+the ``RUNTIME`` destination and component on DLL platforms, and in the
+``LIBRARY`` destination and component on non-DLL platforms. macOS frameworks
+are installed in the ``FRAMEWORK`` destination and component. The generated
+install script calls :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)` on the
+build-tree files to calculate the runtime dependencies, with the build-tree
+executable files as the ``EXECUTABLES`` argument, the build-tree shared
+libraries as the ``LIBRARIES`` argument, and the build-tree modules as the
+``MODULES`` argument. If one of the executables is a :prop_tgt:`MACOSX_BUNDLE`
+executable on a macOS platform, that executable is passed as the
+``BUNDLE_EXECUTABLE`` argument. If ``RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET`` is specified on
+a macOS platform, at most one :prop_tgt:`MACOSX_BUNDLE` executable may be in
+the runtime dependency set. The :prop_tgt:`MACOSX_BUNDLE` property has no
+effect on non-macOS platforms. Targets built within the build tree will never
+be installed as runtime dependencies, nor will their own dependencies, unless
+the targets themselves are installed with `install(TARGETS)`_.
+
+This argument accepts the following sub-arguments:
+
+``DIRECTORIES <directories>``
+  List of directories to be passed as the ``DIRECTORIES`` argument of
+  :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`. This argument supports
+  :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. If a
+  ``DIRECTORIES`` argument evaluates to an empty string, it is not passed to
+  :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`.
+
+``PRE_INCLUDE_REGEXES <regexes>``, ``PRE_EXCLUDE_REGEXES <regexes>``, ``POST_INCLUDE_REGEXES <regexes>``, ``POST_EXCLUDE_REGEXES <regexes>``
+  List of regular expressions to be passed as their respective arguments to
+  :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`. These arguments support
+  :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. If an
+  argument evaluates to an empty string, it is not passed to
+  :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`.
+
+``POST_INCLUDE_FILES <files>``, ``POST_EXCLUDE_FILES <files>``
