| .SH "NAME" |
| cargo\-rustdoc \- Build a package's documentation, using specified custom flags |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| \fBcargo rustdoc\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fB\-\-\fR \fIargs\fR] |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| The specified target for the current package (or package specified by \fB\-p\fR if |
| provided) will be documented with the specified \fIargs\fR being passed to the |
| final rustdoc invocation. Dependencies will not be documented as part of this |
| command. Note that rustdoc will still unconditionally receive arguments such |
| as \fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-extern\fR, and \fB\-\-crate\-type\fR, and the specified \fIargs\fR will simply |
| be added to the rustdoc invocation. |
| .sp |
| See <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/rustdoc/index.html> for documentation on rustdoc |
| flags. |
| .sp |
| 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 \fB\-\-lib\fR, \fB\-\-bin\fR, etc, must be used to select which |
| target is compiled. |
| .sp |
| To pass flags to all rustdoc processes spawned by Cargo, use the |
| \fBRUSTDOCFLAGS\fR \fIenvironment variable\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment\-variables.html> |
| or the \fBbuild.rustdocflags\fR \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .SS "Documentation Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-open\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Open the docs in a browser after building them. This will use your default |
| browser unless you define another one in the \fBBROWSER\fR environment variable |
| or use the \fI\f(BIdoc.browser\fI\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#docbrowser> configuration |
| option. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Package Selection" |
| By default, the package in the current working directory is selected. The \fB\-p\fR |
| flag can be used to choose a different package in a workspace. |
| .sp |
| \fB\-p\fR \fIspec\fR, |
| \fB\-\-package\fR \fIspec\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| The package to document. See \fBcargo\-pkgid\fR(1) for the SPEC |
| format. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Target Selection" |
| When no target selection options are given, \fBcargo rustdoc\fR 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 |
| \fBrequired\-features\fR that are missing. |
| .sp |
| Passing target selection flags will document only the specified |
| targets. |
| .sp |
| Note that \fB\-\-bin\fR, \fB\-\-example\fR, \fB\-\-test\fR and \fB\-\-bench\fR flags also |
| support common Unix glob patterns like \fB*\fR, \fB?\fR and \fB[]\fR\&. However, to avoid your |
| shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Cargo handles them, you must |
| use single quotes or double quotes around each glob pattern. |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-lib\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document the package's library. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-bin\fR \fIname\fR\&... |
| .RS 4 |
| Document the specified binary. This flag may be specified multiple times |
| and supports common Unix glob patterns. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-bins\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document all binary targets. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-example\fR \fIname\fR\&... |
| .RS 4 |
| Document the specified example. This flag may be specified multiple times |
| and supports common Unix glob patterns. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-examples\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document all example targets. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-test\fR \fIname\fR\&... |
| .RS 4 |
| Document the specified integration test. This flag may be specified |
| multiple times and supports common Unix glob patterns. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-tests\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document all targets in test mode that have the \fBtest = true\fR 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 \fBtest\fR flag in the |
| manifest settings for the target. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-bench\fR \fIname\fR\&... |
| .RS 4 |
| Document the specified benchmark. This flag may be specified multiple |
| times and supports common Unix glob patterns. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-benches\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document all targets in benchmark mode that have the \fBbench = true\fR |
| 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 \fBbench\fR flag in the |
| manifest settings for the target. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-all\-targets\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document all targets. This is equivalent to specifying \fB\-\-lib \-\-bins \-\-tests \-\-benches \-\-examples\fR\&. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Feature Selection" |
| The feature flags allow you to control which features are enabled. When no |
| feature options are given, the \fBdefault\fR feature is activated for every |
| selected package. |
| .sp |
| See \fIthe features documentation\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#command\-line\-feature\-options> |
| for more details. |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-features\fR \fIfeatures\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Space or comma separated list of features to activate. Features of workspace |
| members may be enabled with \fBpackage\-name/feature\-name\fR syntax. This flag may |
| be specified multiple times, which enables all specified features. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-all\-features\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Activate all available features of all selected packages. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-no\-default\-features\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Do not activate the \fBdefault\fR feature of the selected packages. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Compilation Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-target\fR \fItriple\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Document for the given architecture. The default is the host |
| architecture. The general format of the triple is |
| \fB<arch><sub>\-<vendor>\-<sys>\-<abi>\fR\&. Run \fBrustc \-\-print target\-list\fR for a |
| list of supported targets. |
| .sp |
| This may also be specified with the \fBbuild.target\fR |
| \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .sp |
| Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where the |
| target artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See the |
| \fIbuild cache\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/guide/build\-cache.html> documentation for more details. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-release\fR |

| \fB\-\-target\-dir\fR \fIdirectory\fR |

| \fBbuild.target\-dir\fR \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |

| .sp |
| \fB\-v\fR, |

| .SS "Manifest Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-manifest\-path\fR \fIpath\fR |
| .RS 4 |

| \fBCargo.toml\fR file in the current directory or any parent directory. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-frozen\fR, |
| \fB\-\-locked\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Either of these flags requires that the \fBCargo.lock\fR file is |
| up\-to\-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will |
| exit with an error. The \fB\-\-frozen\fR flag also prevents Cargo from |
| attempting to access the network to determine if it is out\-of\-date. |
| .sp |
| These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the |
| \fBCargo.lock\fR file is up\-to\-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network |
| access. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-offline\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| 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. |
| .sp |
| 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 \fBcargo\-fetch\fR(1) command to download dependencies before going |
| offline. |
