cargo-search - Search packages in crates.io

DESCRIPTION

This performs a textual search for crates on https://crates.io. The matching crates will be displayed along with their description in TOML format suitable for copying into a Cargo.toml manifest.

OPTIONS

Search Options

--limit limit: Limit the number of results (default: 10, max: 100).
--index index: The URL of the registry index to use.
--registry registry: Name of the registry to use. Registry names are defined in Cargo config files. If not specified, the default registry is used, which is defined by the registry.default config key which defaults to crates-io.

Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config value.

-q

--quiet

Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quiet config value.

--color when

Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.
always: Always display colors.
never: Never display colors.

May also be specified with the term.color config value.

Common Options

+toolchain: If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation for more information about how toolchain overrides work.
--config KEY=VALUE: Overrides a Cargo configuration value.
-h
--help: Prints help information.
-Z flag: Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.
