cargo-build: Build artifacts in release mode, with optimizations.

cargo

$ cargo build --release

try on your machine

The command "cargo build --release" is used in Rust language and Cargo build system to build a release version of a project.

Here is an explanation of the individual components of the command:

"cargo": It is a package manager and build system for Rust programming language. It manages dependencies and building of Rust projects.
"build": It is a Cargo subcommand that instructs Cargo to build the project.
"--release": It is an option to the "build" subcommand. When "--release" flag is used, Cargo builds the project in release mode, which enables certain optimizations and produces a more optimized and faster executable. Release builds are typically used for production deployments.

By running "cargo build --release", Cargo will scan the project and its dependencies, compile the source code, and generate an optimized release build of your project's executable or library. The resulting executable file can be found in the "target/release" directory.
