name: install_headers
returns: void
description: |
Installs the specified header files from the source tree into the
system header directory (usually `/{prefix}/include`) during the
install step. This directory can be overridden by specifying it with
the `install_dir` keyword argument. If you just want to install into a
subdirectory of the system header directory, then use the `subdir`
argument. As an example if this has the value `myproj` then the
headers would be installed to `/{prefix}/include/myproj`.
example: |
For example, this will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into
`/{prefix}/include`:
```meson
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h')
```
This will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into `/{prefix}/include/myproj`:
```meson
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h', subdir : 'myproj')
```
This will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into `/{prefix}/cust/myproj`:
```meson
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h', install_dir : 'cust', subdir : 'myproj')
```
This will install `common.h` into `/{prefix}/include` and `kola.h`
into `/{prefix}/include/proj/`:
```meson
install_headers('common.h, 'proj/kola.h', preserve_path : true)
```
