.SH DESCRIPTION
This tool is a front-end for the Rust language, available at
<\fBhttps://www.rust-lang.org\fR>. It provides commands to
run, test and package Rust programs.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP
\fBbuild\fR
compile rust source files
.TP
\fBrun\fR
build an executable, and run it
.TP
\fBtest\fR
build a test executable, and run it
.TP
\fBdoc\fR
generate documentation from doc comments
.TP
\fBpkg\fR
download, build, install rust packages
.TP
\fBsketch\fR
run a rust interpreter
.TP
\fBhelp\fR
show detailed usage of a command
The build, run and test commands take the same parameters
as the rustc command.
.SS "BUILD COMMAND"
The \fBbuild\fR command is a shortcut for the \fBrustc\fR command line.
All options will be passed to the compiler verbatim. For example, to build
an optimised version:
$ rust build -O <filename>
.SS "RUN COMMAND"
The \fBrun\fR command is a shortcut for the \fBrustc\fR command line.
All options will be passed to the compiler verbatim, and if the compilation
is successful, the resultant executable will be invoked. For example, to
build and run an optimised version:
$ rust run -O <filename>
.SS "TEST COMMAND"
The \fBtest\fR command is a shortcut for the command line:
$ rustc --test <filename> -o <filestem>test~ && ./<filestem>test~
.SS "DOC COMMAND"
The \fBdoc\fR command is an alias for the rustdoc program. It is equivalent to:
$ rustdoc [options] <cratefile>
.SS "PKG COMMAND"
The \fBpkg\fR command is an alias for the rustpkg program. It is equivalent to:
$ rustpkg [options] <cratefile>
.SS "SKETCH COMMAND"
The \fBsketch\fR command launches the \fBrusti\fR interactive shell.
.SS "HELP COMMAND"
The \fBhelp\fR command displays a summary of available commands (ie. this text).
.SH "EXAMPLES"
To build an executable (with a main function):
$ rust build hello.rs
To build a library from a source file:
$ rust build --lib hello-lib.rs
To build and run an executable:
$ rust run hello.rs
To build an executable with unit tests and execute the tests:
$ rust test hello.rs
To create a package
