NAME

       cargo-package - Assemble the local package into a distributable tarball

SYNOPSIS

       cargo package [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This command will create a distributable, compressed .crate file with the source code of
       the package in the current directory. The resulting file will be stored in the
       target/package directory. This performs the following steps:

        1. Load and check the current workspace, performing some basic checks.

           •  Path dependencies are not allowed unless they have a version key. Cargo will ignore
               the path key for dependencies in published packages. dev-dependencies do not have
               this restriction.

        2. Create the compressed .crate file.

           •  The original Cargo.toml file is rewritten and normalized.

           •  [patch], [replace], and [workspace] sections are removed from the manifest.

           •  Cargo.lock is automatically included if the package contains an executable binary
               or example target. cargo-install(1) will use the packaged lock file if the
               --locked flag is used.

           •  A .cargo_vcs_info.json file is included that contains information about the current
               VCS checkout hash if available (not included with --allow-dirty).

        3. Extract the .crate file and build it to verify it can build.

           •  This will rebuild your package from scratch to ensure that it can be built from a
               pristine state. The --no-verify flag can be used to skip this step.

        4. Check that build scripts did not modify any source files.

       The list of files included can be controlled with the include and exclude fields in the
       manifest.

       See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/publishing.html> for more
       details about packaging and publishing.

   .cargo_vcs_info.json format
       Will generate a .cargo_vcs_info.json in the following format

           {
            "git": {
              "sha1": "aac20b6e7e543e6dd4118b246c77225e3a3a1302"
            },
            "path_in_vcs": ""
           }

       path_in_vcs will be set to a repo-relative path for packages in subdirectories of the
       version control repository.

OPTIONS

   Package Options
       -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.

   Package Selection
       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.

       -p spec..., --package spec...
           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.

       --exclude SPEC...
           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.

   Compilation Options
       --target triple
           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 --print
           target-list for a list of supported targets. This flag may be specified multiple
           times.

           This may also be specified with the build.target config value
           <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 build cache
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html> documentation for more
           details.

       --target-dir directory
           Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May also be specified
           with the CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable, or the build.target-dir config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to target in the
           root of the workspace.

   Feature Selection
       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 the features documentation
       <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#command-line-feature-options> for
       more details.

       -F features, --features features
           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.

   Manifest Options
       --manifest-path path
           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.offline config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Miscellaneous Options
       -j N, --jobs N
           Number of parallel jobs to run. May also be specified with the build.jobs config value
           <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. 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. Unstable, requires -Zunstable-options.

   Display Options
       -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.verbose config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       -q, --quiet
           Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quiet config
           value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       --color when
           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.color config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Common Options
       +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 rustup documentation <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for
           more information about how toolchain overrides work.

       --config KEY=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-line overrides section
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides> for
           more information.

       -h, --help
           Prints help information.

       -Z flag
           Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

ENVIRONMENT

       See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
       for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS

0: Cargo succeeded.

       •  101: Cargo failed to complete.
