NAME

       cargo-rustc - Compile the current package, and pass extra options to the compiler

SYNOPSIS

       cargo rustc [OPTIONS] [-- ARGS]

DESCRIPTION

       The specified target for the current package (or package specified by -p if provided) will be compiled
       along with all of its dependencies. The specified ARGS will all be passed to the final compiler
       invocation, not any of the dependencies. Note that the compiler will still unconditionally receive
       arguments such as -L, --extern, and --crate-type, and the specified ARGS will simply be added to the
       compiler invocation.

       See https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/index.html for documentation on rustc flags.

       This command requires that only one target is being compiled when additional arguments are provided. If
       more than one target is available for the current package the filters of --lib, --bin, etc, must be used
       to select which target is compiled. To pass flags to all compiler processes spawned by Cargo, use the
       RUSTFLAGS environment variable <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html> or
       the build.rustflags config value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

OPTIONS

   Package Selection
       By default, the package in the current working directory is selected. The -p flag can be used to choose a
       different package in a workspace.

       -p SPEC, --package SPEC
           The package to build. See cargo-pkgid(1) for the SPEC format.

   Target Selection
       When no target selection options are given, cargo rustc will build all binary and library targets of the
       selected package.

       Passing target selection flags will build only the specified targets.

       --lib
           Build the package’s library.

       --bin NAME...
           Build the specified binary. This flag may be specified multiple times.

       --bins
           Build all binary targets.

       --example NAME...
           Build the specified example. This flag may be specified multiple times.

       --examples
           Build all example targets.

       --test NAME...
           Build the specified integration test. This flag may be specified multiple times.

       --tests
           Build all targets in test mode that have the test = true manifest flag set. By default this includes
           the library and binaries built as unittests, and integration tests. Be aware that this will also
           build any required dependencies, so the lib target may be built twice (once as a unittest, and once
           as a dependency for binaries, integration tests, etc.). Targets may be enabled or disabled by setting
           the test flag in the manifest settings for the target.

       --bench NAME...
           Build the specified benchmark. This flag may be specified multiple times.

       --benches
           Build all targets in benchmark mode that have the bench = true manifest flag set. By default this
           includes the library and binaries built as benchmarks, and bench targets. Be aware that this will
           also build any required dependencies, so the lib target may be built twice (once as a benchmark, and
           once as a dependency for binaries, benchmarks, etc.). Targets may be enabled or disabled by setting
           the bench flag in the manifest settings for the target.

       --all-targets
           Build all targets. This is equivalent to specifying --lib --bins --tests --benches --examples.

   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
           Build 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
           Build 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          │ devrelease           │
       ├───────────────────────────┼─────────────────┼───────────────────┤
       │                           │                 │                   │
       │test, bench, or any target │ testbench             │
       │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.

EXIT STATUS

       0
           Cargo succeeded.

       101
           Cargo failed to complete.

EXAMPLES

        1. Check if your package (not including dependencies) uses unsafe code:

               cargo rustc --lib -- -D unsafe-code

        2. Try an experimental flag on the nightly compiler, such as this which prints the size of every type:

               cargo rustc --lib -- -Z print-type-sizes
