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')
  ```
