| cargo\-clean \[em] Remove generated artifacts |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| \fBcargo clean\fR [\fIoptions\fR] |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| Remove artifacts from the target directory that Cargo has generated in the |
| past. |
| .sp |
| With no options, \fBcargo clean\fR will delete the entire target directory. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .SS "Package Selection" |
| When no packages are selected, all packages and all dependencies in the |
| workspace are cleaned. |
| .sp |
| \fB\-p\fR \fIspec\fR\[u2026], |
| \fB\-\-package\fR \fIspec\fR\[u2026] |
| .RS 4 |
| Clean only the specified packages. This flag may be specified |
| multiple times. See \fBcargo\-pkgid\fR(1) for the SPEC format. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Clean Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-doc\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| This option will cause \fBcargo clean\fR to remove only the \fBdoc\fR directory in |
| the target directory. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-release\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Remove all artifacts in the \fBrelease\fR directory. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-profile\fR \fIname\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Remove all artifacts in the directory with the given profile name. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-target\-dir\fR \fIdirectory\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May also be |
| specified with the \fBCARGO_TARGET_DIR\fR environment variable, or the |
| \fBbuild.target\-dir\fR \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| Defaults to \fBtarget\fR in the root of the workspace. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-target\fR \fItriple\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Clean 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. This flag may be specified multiple times. |
| .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 |
| .SS "Display Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-v\fR, |
| \fB\-\-verbose\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Use verbose output. May be specified twice for \[lq]very verbose\[rq] output which |
| includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. |
| May also be specified with the \fBterm.verbose\fR |
| \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-q\fR, |
| \fB\-\-quiet\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Do not print cargo log messages. |
| May also be specified with the \fBterm.quiet\fR |
| \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-color\fR \fIwhen\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Control when colored output is used. Valid values: |
| .sp |
| .RS 4 |
| \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'\fBauto\fR (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the |
| terminal. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| .RS 4 |
| \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'\fBalways\fR: Always display colors. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| .RS 4 |
| \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'\fBnever\fR: Never display colors. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| May also be specified with the \fBterm.color\fR |
| \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Manifest Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-manifest\-path\fR \fIpath\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Path to the \fBCargo.toml\fR file. By default, Cargo searches for the |
| \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. |
| .sp |
| May also be specified with the \fBnet.offline\fR \fIconfig value\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&. |
| .RE |
| .SS "Common Options" |
| .sp |
| \fB+\fR\fItoolchain\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to \fBcargo\fR |
| begins with \fB+\fR, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such |
| as \fB+stable\fR or \fB+nightly\fR). |
| See the \fIrustup documentation\fR <https://rust\-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> |
| for more information about how toolchain overrides work. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-\-config\fR \fIKEY=VALUE\fR or \fIPATH\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of \fBKEY=VALUE\fR, |
| or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. |
| See the \fIcommand\-line overrides section\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command\-line\-overrides> for more information. |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| \fB\-C\fR \fIPATH\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects |
| things like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (\fBCargo.toml\fR), as well as |
| the directories searched for discovering \fB\&.cargo/config.toml\fR, for example. |
| .sp |
| This option is only available on the \fInightly |
| channel\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/book/appendix\-07\-nightly\-rust.html> and |
| requires the \fB\-Z unstable\-options\fR flag to enable (see |
| \fI#10098\fR <https://github.com/rust\-lang/cargo/issues/10098>). |
| .RE |
