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 \&. .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 \&. .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 \&. .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\-\-locked\fR .RS 4 Asserts that the exact same dependencies and versions are used as when the existing \fBCargo.lock\fR file was originally generated. Cargo will exit with an error when either of the following scenarios arises: .sp .RS 4 \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'The lock file is missing. .RE .sp .RS 4 \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'Cargo attempted to change the lock file due to a different dependency resolution. .RE .sp It may be used in environments where deterministic builds are desired, such as in CI pipelines. .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 \&. .RE .sp \fB\-\-frozen\fR .RS 4 Equivalent to specifying both \fB\-\-locked\fR and \fB\-\-offline\fR\&. .RE .sp \fB\-\-lockfile\-path\fR \fIPATH\fR .RS 4 Changes the path of the lockfile from the default (\fB/Cargo.lock\fR) to \fIPATH\fR\&. \fIPATH\fR must end with \fBCargo.lock\fR (e.g. \fB\-\-lockfile\-path /tmp/temporary\-lockfile/Cargo.lock\fR). Note that providing \fB\-\-lockfile\-path\fR will ignore existing lockfile at the default path, and instead will either use the lockfile from \fIPATH\fR, or write a new lockfile into the provided \fIPATH\fR if it doesn\[cq]t exist. This flag can be used to run most commands in read\-only directories, writing lockfile into the provided \fIPATH\fR\&. .sp This option is only available on the \fInightly channel\fR and requires the \fB\-Z unstable\-options\fR flag to enable (see \fI#14421\fR ). .RE .SS "Package Selection" .sp \fB\-p\fR \fIspec\fR\[u2026], \fB\-\-package\fR \fIspec\fR\[u2026] .RS 4 Package to remove from. .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 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 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. This option must appear before the command name, for example \fBcargo \-C path/to/my\-project build\fR\&. .sp This option is only available on the \fInightly channel\fR and requires the \fB\-Z unstable\-options\fR flag to enable (see \fI#10098\fR ). .RE .sp \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR .RS 4 Prints help information. .RE .sp \fB\-Z\fR \fIflag\fR .RS 4 Unstable (nightly\-only) flags to Cargo. Run \fBcargo \-Z help\fR for details. .RE .SH "ENVIRONMENT" See \fIthe reference\fR for details on environment variables that Cargo reads. .SH "EXIT STATUS" .sp .RS 4 \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'\fB0\fR: Cargo succeeded. .RE .sp .RS 4 \h'-04'\(bu\h'+02'\fB101\fR: Cargo failed to complete. .RE .SH "EXAMPLES" .sp .RS 4 \h'-04' 1.\h'+01'Remove \fBregex\fR as a dependency .sp .RS 4 .nf cargo remove regex .fi .RE .RE .sp .RS 4 \h'-04' 2.\h'+01'Remove \fBtrybuild\fR as a dev\-dependency .sp .RS 4 .nf cargo remove \-\-dev trybuild .fi .RE .RE .sp .RS 4 \h'-04' 3.\h'+01'Remove \fBnom\fR from the \fBx86_64\-pc\-windows\-gnu\fR dependencies table .sp .RS 4 .nf cargo remove \-\-target x86_64\-pc\-windows\-gnu nom .fi .RE .RE .SH "SEE ALSO" \fBcargo\fR(1), \fBcargo\-add\fR(1)
