1 | # cargo-run(1) |
2 | ||
3 | ||
4 | ## NAME | |
5 | ||
6 | cargo-run - Run the current package | |
7 | ||
8 | ## SYNOPSIS | |
9 | ||
10 | `cargo run` [_options_] [`--` _args_] | |
11 | ||
12 | ## DESCRIPTION | |
13 | ||
14 | Run a binary or example of the local package. | |
15 | ||
16 | All the arguments following the two dashes (`--`) are passed to the binary to | |
17 | run. If you're passing arguments to both Cargo and the binary, the ones after | |
18 | `--` go to the binary, the ones before go to Cargo. | |
19 | ||
20 | ## OPTIONS | |
21 | ||
22 | ### Package Selection | |
23 | ||
24 | By default, the package in the current working directory is selected. The `-p` | |
25 | flag can be used to choose a different package in a workspace. | |

33 | ||
34 | ||
35 | </dl> | |
36 | ||
37 | ||
38 | ### Target Selection | |
39 | ||
40 | When no target selection options are given, `cargo run` will run the binary | |
41 | target. If there are multiple binary targets, you must pass a target flag to | |
42 | choose one. Or, the `default-run` field may be specified in the `[package]` | |
43 | section of `Cargo.toml` to choose the name of the binary to run by default. | |

57 | ### Feature Selection | |

59 | The feature flags allow you to control which features are enabled. When no |
60 | feature options are given, the `default` feature is activated for every | |
61 | selected package. | |
