| {{#option "`--lockfile-path` _PATH_"}} |
| Changes the path of the lockfile from the default (`<workspace_root>/Cargo.lock`) to _PATH_. _PATH_ must end with |
| `Cargo.lock` (e.g. `--lockfile-path /tmp/temporary-lockfile/Cargo.lock`). Note that providing |
| `--lockfile-path` will ignore existing lockfile at the default path, and instead will |
| either use the lockfile from _PATH_, or write a new lockfile into the provided _PATH_ if it doesn't exist. |
| This flag can be used to run most commands in read-only directories, writing lockfile into the provided _PATH_. |
| |
| This option is only available on the [nightly |
| channel](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html) and |
| requires the `-Z unstable-options` flag to enable (see |
| [#14421](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14421)). |
