NAME

cargo-rustdoc --- Build a package's documentation, using specified custom flags

SYNOPSIS

cargo rustdoc [options] [-- args]

DESCRIPTION

The specified target for the current package (or package specified by -p if provided) will be documented with the specified args being passed to the final rustdoc invocation. Dependencies will not be documented as part of this command. Note that rustdoc will still unconditionally receive arguments such as -L, --extern, and --crate-type, and the specified args will simply be added to the rustdoc invocation.

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/index.html for documentation on rustdoc flags.

To pass flags to all rustdoc processes spawned by Cargo, use the RUSTDOCFLAGS environment variable or the build.rustdocflags config value.
