UpdateOptionsspec…
Update only the specified packages. This flag may be specified multiple times. See cargo-pkgid(1) for
the SPEC format.
If packages are specified with spec, then a conservative update of the lockfile will be performed.
This means that only the dependency specified by SPEC will be updated. Its transitive dependencies
will be updated only if SPEC cannot be updated without updating dependencies. All other dependencies
will remain locked at their currently recorded versions.
If spec is not specified, all dependencies are updated.
--recursive
When used with spec, dependencies of spec are forced to update as well. Cannot be used with
--precise.
--preciseprecise
When used with spec, allows you to specify a specific version number to set the package to. If the
package comes from a git repository, this can be a git revision (such as a SHA hash or tag).
While not recommended, you can specify a yanked version of a package. When possible, try other
non-yanked SemVer-compatible versions or seek help from the maintainers of the package.
A compatible pre-release version can also be specified even when the version requirement in
Cargo.toml doesn’t contain any pre-release identifier (nightly only).
-w, --workspace
Attempt to update only packages defined in the workspace. Other packages are updated only if they
don’t already exist in the lockfile. This option is useful for updating Cargo.lock after you’ve
changed version numbers in Cargo.toml.
--dry-run
Displays what would be updated, but doesn’t actually write the lockfile.
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>.
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.
--ignore-rust-version
Ignore rust-version specification in packages.
--locked
Asserts that the exact same dependencies and versions are used as when the existing Cargo.lock file
was originally generated. Cargo will exit with an error when either of the following scenarios
arises:
• The lock file is missing.
• Cargo attempted to change the lock file due to a different dependency resolution.
It may be used in environments where deterministic builds are desired, such as in CI pipelines.
--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>.
--frozen
Equivalent to specifying both --locked and --offline.
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.
