cargo-rustc: Build a specific package.

cargo

$ cargo rustc --package ${package}

try on your machine

The command cargo rustc --package ${package} is used to compile a specific package in a Rust project using the Cargo build system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

cargo rustc: The cargo command is the main interface for managing Rust projects, while rustc is the Rust compiler itself. This combination invokes Cargo to compile the project using the Rust compiler.
--package ${package}: This option specifies the package or crate to be compiled. The ${package} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to compile. By specifying this option, you can choose to compile only a specific package within a Rust project that consists of multiple packages or crates.

Overall, the command allows you to compile a specific package in a Rust project without building the entire project.
