rustfmt: Check a file for formatting and display any changes on the console.
$ rustfmt --check ${path-to-source-rs}
try on your machine
The command "rustfmt --check ${path-to-source-rs}" is used to check the formatting of Rust source code files.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "rustfmt": This refers to the Rust formatting tool called "rustfmt."
- "--check": It is an option or flag that instructs rustfmt to only perform a check on the code without making any modifications. It helps detect formatting issues without changing the file.
- "${path-to-source-rs}": This is a placeholder representing the path to the Rust source code file (.rs file) you want to check. You need to provide the actual path to the specific file you want to analyze. Replace "${path-to-source-rs}" with the actual file path.
By running this command, rustfmt will analyze the specified Rust source code file and report any formatting issues it finds. It can help ensure that the code adheres to recommended formatting guidelines and improves code readability and consistency.
