The man is a simples CLI sub-command from cargo, that helps you manage your Cargo.toml file.
In this first version we are just managing the
packagetable from the manifest, in future versions we are going to support all tables.
To install the sub-command you just need to execute the following command:
shell
cargo install cargo-man
To use the CLI you must inform the fields you want it to return or change using the flag --field or -f:
shell
cargo man -f version
0.1.0
If you want to attribute a new value just use the flag --set or -s
shell
cargo man -f version -s 1.0.0
1.0.0
By default, cargo-man looks at the package table, but you can change that by anything that you want it
shell
cargo man -t dependencies -f something
1.0.0
