NAME

       cargo-update - Update the package dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       cargo update [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Update dependencies as recorded in the local lock file.

       This command requires that a Cargo.lock already exists as generated by cargo build or related commands.

       If SPEC is given, 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 cur‐
       rently recorded versions.

       If PRECISE is specified, then --aggressive must not also be specified.  The argument PRECISE is a  string
       representing a precise revision that the package being updated should be updated to.  For example, if the
       package  comes from a git repository, then PRECISE would be the exact revision that the repository should
       be updated to.

       If SPEC is not given, then all dependencies will be re-resolved and updated.

       For more information about package id specifications, see "cargo help pkgid".
