{{#option “--target tuple”}} {{actionverb}} for the specified target architecture. {{#if multitarget }} Flag may be specified multiple times. {{/if}} {{~#if target-default-to-all-arch}} The default is all architectures. {{~else}} The default is the host architecture. {{~/if}} The general format of the tuple is <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>.

Possible values:

• Any supported target in rustc --print target-list.
• "host-tuple", which will internally be substituted by the host‘s target. This can be particularly useful if you’re cross-compiling some crates, and don‘t want to specify your host’s machine as a target (for instance, an xtask in a shared project that may be worked on by many hosts).
• A path to a custom target specification. See Custom Target Lookup Path for more information.

This may also be specified with the build.target config value.

Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where the target artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See the build cache documentation for more details. {{/option}}
