+    \title Probe Item
+    \brief Locates files outside the project.
+
+    A \c Probe item can appear inside a \l{Product Item} and is run prior to building products in
+    order to locate dependent headers, libraries, and other files outside the project directory
+    whose locations are not known ahead of time. \c Probes are similar to configure scripts.
+    \note Because Probes often invoke external processes, which is relatively expensive compared
+          to evaluating normal properties, their results are cached. To force re-evaluation
+          of a Probe, you can supply the \c{--force-probe-execution} command-line option.
