$ cargo rustc

try on your machine

The command cargo rustc is used in the Rust programming language and is a shortcut for running the Rust compiler (rustc) through the Cargo build system.

Cargo is the official build tool and package manager for Rust, responsible for managing dependencies, building projects, and running tests. It simplifies the process of building and distributing Rust applications.

When you execute cargo rustc, Cargo takes care of invoking the Rust compiler (rustc) with the appropriate flags and configurations according to the project's configuration in the Cargo.toml file.

The rustc command is responsible for compiling Rust code into binary executables or libraries. It takes Rust source files as input and produces machine code that can be run on the target platform.

By using cargo rustc, you leverage the power of Cargo to compile your Rust code, ensuring that everything is properly managed, including dependencies, build options, and release profiles. This makes it an easy and convenient way to build your Rust projects.
