NAME

       cargo-info — Display information about a package in the registry. Default registry is crates.io

SYNOPSIS

       cargo info [options] spec

DESCRIPTION

       This command displays information about a package in the registry. It fetches data from the package’s
       Cargo.toml file and presents it in a human-readable format.

OPTIONS

   Info Options
       spec
           Fetch information about the specified package. The spec can be a package ID, see cargo-pkgid(1) for
           the SPEC format. If the specified package is part of the current workspace, information from the
           local Cargo.toml file will be displayed. If the Cargo.lock file does not exist, it will be created.
           If no version is specified, the appropriate version will be selected based on the Minimum Supported
           Rust Version (MSRV).

       --index index
           The URL of the registry index to use.

       --registry registry
           Name of the registry to use. Registry names are defined in Cargo config files
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. If not specified, the default registry is
           used, which is defined by the registry.default config key which defaults to crates-io.

   Display Options
       -v, --verbose
           Use verbose output. May be specified twice for “very verbose” output which includes extra output such
           as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config
           value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       -q, --quiet
           Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quiet config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       --color when
           Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

           •  auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.

           •  always: Always display colors.

           •  never: Never display colors.

           May also be specified with the term.color config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Manifest Options
       --locked
           Asserts that the exact same dependencies and versions are used as when the existing Cargo.lock file
           was originally generated. Cargo will exit with an error when either of the following scenarios
           arises:

           •  The lock file is missing.

           •  Cargo attempted to change the lock file due to a different dependency resolution.

           It may be used in environments where deterministic builds are desired, such as in CI pipelines.

       --offline
           Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this flag, Cargo will stop with an
           error if it needs to access the network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will
           attempt to proceed without the network if possible.

           Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online mode. Cargo will restrict
           itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even if there might be a newer version as indicated in
           the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1) command to download dependencies before going
           offline.

           May also be specified with the net.offline config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       --frozen
           Equivalent to specifying both --locked and --offline.

   Common Options
       +toolchain
           If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be
           interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation
           <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more information about how toolchain
           overrides work.

       --config KEY=VALUE or PATH
           Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or
           provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the
           command-line overrides section
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides> for more information.

       -C PATH
           Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects things
           like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (Cargo.toml), as well as the directories
           searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml, for example. This option must appear before the command
           name, for example cargo -C path/to/my-project build.

           This option is only available on the nightly channel
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and requires the -Z unstable-options
           flag to enable (see #10098 <https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).

       -h, --help
           Prints help information.

       -Z flag
           Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

ENVIRONMENT

       See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html> for details on
       environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS

       •  0: Cargo succeeded.

       •  101: Cargo failed to complete.

EXAMPLES

        1. Inspect the serde package from crates.io:

                cargo info serde

        2. Inspect the serde package with version 1.0.0:

                cargo info serde@1.0.0

        3. Inspect the serde package form the local registry:

                cargo info serde --registry my-registry
