.SH "NAME"
cargo\-metadata \- Machine\-readable metadata about the current package
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBcargo metadata [\fIOPTIONS\fP]\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Output the resolved dependencies of a package, the concrete used versions
including overrides, in JSON to stdout.
.sp
It is recommended to include the \fB\-\-format\-version\fP flag to future\-proof
your code to ensure the output is in the format you are expecting.
.sp
See the \c
.URL "https://crates.io/crates/cargo_metadata" "cargo_metadata crate"
for a Rust API for reading the metadata.
.SH "OUTPUT FORMAT"
.sp
The output has the following format:
.sp

Either of these flags requires that the \fBCargo.lock\fP file is
up\-to\-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will
exit with an error. The \fB\-\-frozen\fP flag also prevents Cargo from
attempting to access the network to determine if it is out\-of\-date.

These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the
\fBCargo.lock\fP file is up\-to\-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network
access.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-offline\fP
.RS 4
Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this
flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the network and
the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt to
proceed without the network if possible.
.sp
Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online
mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even
if there might be a newer version as indicated in the local copy of the index.
