.SH NAME
.PP
cargo\-build \- Compile the current project
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\f[I]cargo build\f[] [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Compile a local package and all of its dependencies.
.PP
If the \f[B]\-\-package\f[] argument is given, then \f[I]SPEC\f[] is a
package id specification which indicates which package should be built.
If it is not given, then the current package is built.
For more information on \f[I]SPEC\f[] and its format, see the "cargo
help pkgid" command.
.PP
Compilation can be configured via the use of profiles which are
configured in the manifest.
The default profile for this command is \f[I]dev\f[], but passing the
\f[B]\-\-release\f[] flag will use the \f[I]release\f[] profile instead.
