When this command is 11encountered in an included file (via :command:`include` or 12:command:`find_package`), it causes processing of the current file to stop 13and control is returned to the including file. If it is encountered in a 14file which is not included by another file, e.g. a ``CMakeLists.txt``, 15deferred calls scheduled by :command:`cmake_language(DEFER)` are invoked and 16control is returned to the parent directory if there is one. If return is 17called in a function, control is returned to the caller of the function. 18 19Note that a :command:`macro <macro>`, unlike a :command:`function <function>`, 20is expanded in place and therefore cannot handle ``return()``. 21
