PackageOptions-l, --list
Print files included in a package without making one.
--no-verify
Don’t verify the contents by building them.
--no-metadata
Ignore warnings about a lack of human-usable metadata (such as the description or the license).
--allow-dirty
Allow working directories with uncommitted VCS changes to be packaged.
PackageSelection
By default, when no package selection options are given, the packages selected depend on the selected
manifest file (based on the current working directory if --manifest-path is not given). If the manifest
is the root of a workspace then the workspaces default members are selected, otherwise only the package
defined by the manifest will be selected.
The default members of a workspace can be set explicitly with the workspace.default-members key in the
root manifest. If this is not set, a virtual workspace will include all workspace members (equivalent to
passing --workspace), and a non-virtual workspace will include only the root crate itself.
-pspec…, --packagespec…
Package only the specified packages. See cargo-pkgid(1) for the SPEC format. This flag may be
specified multiple times and supports common Unix glob patterns like *, ? and []. However, to avoid
your shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must use single quotes
or double quotes around each pattern.
--workspace
Package all members in the workspace.
--excludeSPEC…
Exclude the specified packages. Must be used in conjunction with the --workspace flag. This flag may
be specified multiple times and supports common Unix glob patterns like *, ? and []. However, to
avoid your shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must use single
quotes or double quotes around each pattern.
CompilationOptions--targettriple
Package for the given architecture. The default is the host architecture. The general format of the
triple is <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>. Run rustc--printtarget-list for a list of supported
targets. This flag may be specified multiple times.
This may also be specified with the build.targetconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where the target artifacts are
placed in a separate directory. See the buildcache
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html> documentation for more details.
--target-dirdirectory
Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May also be specified with the
CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable, or the build.target-dirconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to target in the root of the
workspace.
FeatureSelection
The feature flags allow you to control which features are enabled. When no feature options are given, the
default feature is activated for every selected package.
See thefeaturesdocumentation
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#command-line-feature-options> for more details.
-Ffeatures, --featuresfeatures
Space or comma separated list of features to activate. Features of workspace members may be enabled
with package-name/feature-name syntax. This flag may be specified multiple times, which enables all
specified features.
--all-features
Activate all available features of all selected packages.
--no-default-features
Do not activate the default feature of the selected packages.
ManifestOptions--manifest-pathpath
Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for the Cargo.toml file in the current
directory or any parent directory.
--frozen, --locked
Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date. If the lock file is missing,
or it needs to be updated, Cargo will exit with an error. The --frozen flag also prevents Cargo from
attempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.
These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date
(such as a CI build) or want to avoid network access.
--offline
Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this flag, Cargo will stop with an
error if it needs to access the network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will
attempt to proceed without the network if possible.
Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online mode. Cargo will restrict
itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even if there might be a newer version as indicated in
the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1) command to download dependencies before going
offline.
May also be specified with the net.offlineconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
MiscellaneousOptions-jN, --jobsN
Number of parallel jobs to run. May also be specified with the build.jobsconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to the number of logical CPUs. If
negative, it sets the maximum number of parallel jobs to the number of logical CPUs plus provided
value. If a string default is provided, it sets the value back to defaults. Should not be 0.
--keep-going
Build as many crates in the dependency graph as possible, rather than aborting the build on the first
one that fails to build.
For example if the current package depends on dependencies fails and works, one of which fails to
build, cargopackage-j1 may or may not build the one that succeeds (depending on which one of the
two builds Cargo picked to run first), whereas cargopackage-j1--keep-going would definitely run
both builds, even if the one run first fails.
DisplayOptions-v, --verbose
Use verbose output. May be specified twice for “very verbose” output which includes extra output such
as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verboseconfigvalue <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-q, --quiet
Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quietconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
--colorwhen
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
• auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.
• always: Always display colors.
• never: Never display colors.
May also be specified with the term.colorconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
CommonOptions+toolchain
If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be
interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustupdocumentation
<https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more information about how toolchain
overrides work.
--configKEY=VALUE or PATH
Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or
provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the
command-lineoverridessection
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides> for more information.
-CPATH
Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects things
like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (Cargo.toml), as well as the directories
searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml, for example. This option must appear before the command
name, for example cargo-Cpath/to/my-projectbuild.
This option is only available on the nightlychannel
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and requires the -Zunstable-options
flag to enable (see #10098 <https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).
-h, --help
Prints help information.
-Zflag
Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo-Zhelp for details.
