NAME

cargo-pkgid - Print a fully qualified package specification

SYNOPSIS

cargo pkgid [OPTIONS] [<SPEC>]

DESCRIPTION

Given a <SPEC> argument, print out the fully qualified package id specifier. This command will generate an error if <SPEC> is ambiguous as to which package it refers to in the dependency graph. If no <SPEC> is given, then the pkgid for the local package is printed.

This command requires that a lockfile is available and dependencies have been fetched.

-q, --quiet
No output printed to stdout.
