cargo-rustc: Build only the specified binary.

cargo

$ cargo --bin ${name}

try on your machine

The cargo --bin ${name} command is used in the context of the Rust programming language and its package manager Cargo. This command is typically entered in a terminal to interact with the Cargo tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

cargo: It invokes the Cargo program, which is the package manager and build system for Rust projects. It manages dependencies, compiles code, and runs various development tasks.
--bin: It is a flag used to specify that the Cargo command should be executed on a binary (executable) target within the project. This flag is followed by ${name}, which represents a placeholder for the actual name of the binary target.

In a Rust project, you might have multiple binaries defined in the Cargo.toml file. By using --bin ${name}, you can specify which binary you want to build, test, run, or perform other actions on.

For example, if you have a binary target named "my_app" defined in your Cargo.toml, running cargo --bin my_app would execute the Cargo command on that specific binary.
