NAME

cargo-doc - Build a packageaqs documentation

SYNOPSIS

cargo doc [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Build the documentation for the local package and all dependencies. The outputis placed in target/doc in rustdoccqs usual format.

OPTIONS

Documentation Options

--open

: Open the docs in a browser after building them. This will use your defaultbrowser unless you define another one in the BROWSER environmentvariable.

--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 selecteddepend 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 thenthe workspaces default members are selected, otherwise only the package definedby the manifest will be selected.

The default members of a workspace can be set explicitly with theworkspace.default-members key in the root manifest. If this is not set, avirtual 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 theSPEC 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 allbinary and library targets of the selected package. The binary will be skippedif its name is the same as the lib target. Binaries are skipped if they haverequired-features that are missing.

The default behavior can be changed by setting doc = false for the target inthe manifest settings. Using target selection options will ignore the docflag and will always document the given target.

--lib

: Document the packagecqs 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 theone specified in --manifest-path. If running in the root of a virtualworkspace, 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 forevery selected package.

--features FEATURES

: Space or comma separated list of features to activate. These features onlyapply to the current directorycqs package. Features of direct dependenciesmay be enabled with <dep-name>/<feature-name> syntax. This flag may bespecified 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 directorycqspackage.

Compilation Options

--target TRIPLE

Document for the given architecture. The default is the hostarchitecture. The general format of the triple is<arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>. Run rustc --print target-list for alist of supported targets.

This may also be specified with the build.targethttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config value

Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where thetarget artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See thehttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html <L>build cachedocumentation for more details.

--release

: Document optimized artifacts with the release profile. See thePROFILES section for details on how this affects profile selection.

Output Options

--target-dir DIRECTORY

: Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May also bespecified with the CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable, or thebuild.target-dir https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config valueDefaultsto target in the root of the workspace.

Display Options

-v, --verbose

: Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output whichincludes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output.May also be specified with the term.verbosehttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config value

-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 theterminal.

: *always: Always display colors.

: *never: Never display colors.

May also be specified with the term.colorhttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config value

--message-format FMT

The output format for diagnostic messages. Can be specified multiple timesand 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. Seehttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/external-tools.html#json-messages <L>the referencefor more details.

: *json-diagnostic-short: Ensure the rendered field of JSON messages containsthe "short" rendering from rustc.

: *json-diagnostic-rendered-ansi: Ensure the rendered field of JSON messagescontains embedded ANSI color codes for respecting rustccqs default colorscheme.

: *json-render-diagnostics: Instruct Cargo to not include rustc diagnostics inin JSON messages printed, but instead Cargo itself should render theJSON diagnostics coming from rustc. Cargocqs own JSON diagnostics and otherscoming from rustc are still emitted.

Manifest Options

--manifest-path PATH

: Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for theCargo.toml file in the current directory or any parent directory.

--frozen, --locked

: Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file isup-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo willexit with an error. The --frozen flag also prevents Cargo fromattempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.
These may be used in environments where you want to assert that theCargo.lock file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid networkaccess.

--offline

Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without thisflag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the network andthe network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt toproceed without the network if possible.

Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than onlinemode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, evenif 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 goingoffline.

May also be specified with the net.offline https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config value

Common Options

-h, --help

: Prints help information.

-Z FLAG...

: Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help fordetails.

Miscellaneous Options

-j N, --jobs N

: Number of parallel jobs to run. May also be specified with thebuild.jobs https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html <L>config valueDefaults tothe number of CPUs.

PROFILES

Profiles may be used to configure compiler options such as optimization levelsand debug settings. Seehttps://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html <L>the referencefor more details.

Profile selection depends on the target and crate being built. By default thedev or test profiles are used. If the --release flag is given, then therelease or bench profiles are used.
