CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_FRONTEND_VARIANT
---------------------------------------------

.. versionadded:: 3.29

Identification string of the linker frontend variant.

Some linkers have multiple, different frontends for accepting command
line options.  For example, ``LLVM LLD`` originally only had a frontend
compatible with the ``GNU`` compiler, but since its port to Windows
(``lld-link``), it now also supports a frontend compatible with ``MSVC``.
When CMake detects such a linker, it sets this variable to what would have been
the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_ID` for the linker whose frontend
it resembles.

.. note::
  In other words, this variable describes what command line options
  and language extensions the linker frontend expects.
