NAME
cargo-doc - Build a package's documentation
SYNOPSIS
cargo doc [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Build the documentation for the local package and all dependencies. The output is placed in target/doc in rustdoc’s usual format.
OPTIONS
Documentation Options --open Open the docs in a browser after building them. This will use your default browser unless you define another one in the BROWSER environment variable. --no-deps Do not build documentation for dependencies. --document-private-items Include non-public items in the documentation. 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... Document only the specified packages. See cargo-pkgid(1) for the SPEC format. This flag may be specified multiple times. --workspace Document all members in the workspace. --all Deprecated alias for --workspace. --exclude SPEC... Exclude the specified packages. Must be used in conjunction with the --workspace flag. This flag may be specified multiple times. Target Selection When no target selection options are given, cargo doc will document all binary and library targets of the selected package. The binary will be skipped if its name is the same as the lib target. Binaries are skipped if they have required-features that are missing. The default behavior can be changed by setting doc = false for the target in the manifest settings. Using target selection options will ignore the doc flag and will always document the given target. --lib Document the package’s library. --bin NAME... Document the specified binary. This flag may be specified multiple times. --bins Document all binary targets. Feature Selection The feature flags allow you to control the enabled features for the "current" package. The "current" package is the package in the current directory, or the one specified in --manifest-path. If running in the root of a virtual workspace, then the default features are selected for all workspace members, or all features if --all-features is specified. When no feature options are given, the default feature is activated for every selected package. --features FEATURES Space or comma separated list of features to activate. These features only apply to the current directory’s package. Features of direct dependencies may be enabled with <dep-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 current directory’s package. Compilation Options --target TRIPLE Document 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 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. --release Document optimized artifacts with the release profile. See the PROFILES section for details on how this affects profile selection. Output Options --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. 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 No output printed to stdout. --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>. --message-format FMT The output format for diagnostic messages. Can be specified multiple times and consists of comma-separated values. Valid values: • human (default): Display in a human-readable text format. • short: Emit shorter, human-readable text messages. • json: Emit JSON messages to stdout. See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/external-tools.html#json-messages> for more details. • json-diagnostic-short: Ensure the rendered field of JSON messages contains the "short" rendering from rustc. • json-diagnostic-rendered-ansi: Ensure the rendered field of JSON messages contains embedded ANSI color codes for respecting rustc’s default color scheme. • json-render-diagnostics: Instruct Cargo to not include rustc diagnostics in in JSON messages printed, but instead Cargo itself should render the JSON diagnostics coming from rustc. Cargo’s own JSON diagnostics and others coming from rustc are still emitted. 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>. 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://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/> for more information about how toolchain overrides work. -h, --help Prints help information. -Z FLAG... Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details. 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 CPUs.
PROFILES
Profiles may be used to configure compiler options such as optimization levels and debug settings. See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html> for more details. Profile selection depends on the target and crate being built. By default the dev or test profiles are used. If the --release flag is given, then the release or bench profiles are used. ┌─────────────────────┬─────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │Target │ Default Profile │ --release Profile │ ├─────────────────────┼─────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ │ │ │ │lib, bin, example │ dev │ release │ ├─────────────────────┼─────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ │ │ │ │test, bench, or any │ test │ bench │ │target │ │ │ │in "test" or "bench" │ │ │ │mode │ │ │ └─────────────────────┴─────────────────┴───────────────────┘ Dependencies use the dev/release profiles.
ENVIRONMENT
See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html> for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
