@ -162,17 +162,14 @@ running them manually is a perfectly valid way to test your code,
for smaller projects, prototypes, or if you're a beginner, it might be
more convenient to use the `rust` tool.
You use it by calling it with one of the supported commands, followed by
arguments for that command. For example `rust build foo.rs` calls the
`build` command with the argument `foo.rs`.
The `rust` tool provides central access to the other rust tools,
as well as handy shortcuts for directly running source files.
For example, if you have a file `foo.rs` in your current directory,
`rust run foo.rs` would attempt to compile it and, if successful,
directly run the resulting binary.
The commands are:
- `build`, `doc`, `pkg` and `sketch`, which simply forward all arguments
to the included programs `rustc`, `rustdoc`, `rustpkg` and `rusti`.
- `run` and `test`, which both accept one source file and, using `rustc`,
produce either a normal or a test executable in the current working
directory and run it.
- `help`, which prints out the usage text of one of the commands.
To get a list of all available commands, simply call `rust` without any
argument.
