cargo-clippy: Run checks for a package.
$ cargo clippy --package ${package}
try on your machine

The command cargo clippy --package ${package} is a command-line command executed in a Rust project using the Cargo build system. It is used to run the Clippy linter (a linting tool for Rust) on a specific package within the project.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • cargo clippy: The cargo command is the main command-line tool for managing Rust projects with Cargo. clippy is invoked as a subcommand of cargo to run the Clippy linter.

  • --package ${package}: This option is used to specify the specific package within the project on which Clippy should be run. ${package} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the package. For example, if you want to run Clippy on a package named "my_package", you would replace ${package} with my_package in the command.

Overall, this command executes Clippy on a specific Rust package within a project, allowing you to catch potential issues and linting suggestions according to the Clippy linter's rules.
