cargo-build: Build only the specified binary.
$ cargo build --bin ${name}
try on your machine

This command is used when running the Cargo build system, which is a package manager and build system for Rust programming language projects.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • cargo build: This is the main part of the command that instructs Cargo to build the project. It compiles the Rust source code and generates the executable binary file.
  • --bin: This flag specifies that only the specified binary target should be built.
  • ${name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the binary target. It depends on the project's configuration and can be replaced with the actual name of the binary you want to build.

By running this command, Cargo will compile the Rust code for the specified binary and generate the executable binary file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
