.SH OPTIONS

.TP
\fB\-\-crate-type=[bin|lib|dylib|rlib|staticlib]\fR
Configure the flavor of rust crate that is generated (default `bin`)
.TP
\fB\-\-cfg\fR SPEC
Configure the compilation environment
.TP
\fB\-\-emit=[asm,ir,bc,obj,link]\fR
Configure the output that rustc will produce
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Display this message
.TP
\fB\-L\fR PATH
Add a directory to the library search path
.TP
\fB\-\-linker\fR LINKER
Program to use for linking instead of the default
.TP
\fB\-\-link-args\fR FLAGS
A space-separated list of flags passed to the linker
.TP
\fB\-\-ls\fR
List the symbols defined by a library crate
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-trans\fR
Run all passes except translation; no output
.TP
\fB\-O\fR
Equivalent to \fI\-\-opt\-level=2\fR
.TP
\fB\-o\fR FILENAME
Write output to <filename>. Ignored if more than one --emit is specified.
.TP
\fB\-\-opt\-level\fR LEVEL
Optimize with possible levels 0-3
.TP
\fB\-\-passes\fR NAMES
Comma- or space-separated list of optimization passes. Overrides
the default passes for the optimization level. A value of 'list'

.TP
\fB\-\-out\-dir\fR DIR
Write output to compiler-chosen filename in <dir>. Ignored if -o is specified.
(default the current directory)
.TP
\fB\-\-parse\-only\fR
Parse only; do not compile, assemble, or link
.TP
\fB\-\-pretty\fR [TYPE]
Pretty-print the input instead of compiling; valid types are: normal
(un-annotated source), expanded (crates expanded), typed (crates
expanded, with type annotations), or identified (fully parenthesized,
AST nodes and blocks with IDs)
.TP
\fB\-\-save\-temps\fR
Write intermediate files (.bc, .opt.bc, .o) in addition to normal output
.TP
\fB\-\-sysroot\fR PATH
Override the system root
.TP
\fB\-\-test\fR
Build a test harness
.TP
\fB\-\-target\fR TRIPLE
Target triple cpu-manufacturer-kernel[-os] to compile for (see
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_17.html
for details)
.TP
\fB\-\-target-feature\fR TRIPLE
Target-specific attributes (see llc -mattr=help for details)
.TP
\fB\-\-android-cross-path\fR PATH
The path to the Android NDK
.TP
\fB\-W\fR help
Print 'lint' options and default settings
.TP
\fB\-W\fR OPT, \fB\-\-warn\fR OPT
Set lint warnings
.TP
\fB\-A\fR OPT, \fB\-\-allow\fR OPT
Set lint allowed
.TP
\fB\-D\fR OPT, \fB\-\-deny\fR OPT
Set lint denied
.TP
\fB\-F\fR OPT, \fB\-\-forbid\fR OPT
Set lint forbidden
.TP
\fB\-Z\fR FLAG
Set internal debugging options. Use "-Z help" to print available options.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version info and exit

.SH "EXAMPLES"
To build an executable from a source file with a main function:
    $ rustc -o hello hello.rs

To build a library from a source file:
    $ rustc --crate-type=lib hello-lib.rs

To build either with a crate (.rs) file:
    $ rustc hello.rs

To build an executable with debug info (experimental):
    $ rustc -Z debug-info -o hello hello.rs
