cargo: Build using a specific number of threads (default is the number of CPU cores).

cargo

$ cargo build --jobs ${number_of_threads}

try on your machine

This command is used with the Rust package manager called Cargo. It compiles a Rust project into an executable or a library.

Specifically, the cargo build part tells Cargo to build the project.

The --jobs flag is used to specify the number of parallel build jobs that Cargo should run. The value ${number_of_threads} is a placeholder for the actual number of threads you want to use. This allows you to specify the maximum number of threads to be used during the build process. For example, if you want to use 4 threads, you would replace ${number_of_threads} with 4.

By increasing the number of threads, you can potentially speed up the build process when building larger projects. However, the optimal number of threads to use depends on your system's capabilities, so it may require some experimentation.

In summary, the cargo build --jobs ${number_of_threads} command builds a Rust project and allows you to specify the number of parallel build jobs to use during the process.
