What is the role of IFNy in CD8+ T cells?

I have been looking at all kinds of articles but it is not very clear for me. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells have different functions. However, they do both secrete IFNy. So is the function of IFNy secreted by both T cells the same? Can IFNy secreted by CD8+ T cells only induce apoptosis? And if so, how?Can someone tell me in detail how IFNy from CD8+ T cells exert actions?
