CARGO-UNINSTALL(1)

NAME
       cargo-uninstall - Remove a Rust binary

SYNOPSIS
       cargo uninstall [options] [spec...]

DESCRIPTION
       This command removes a package installed with cargo-install(1). The spec
       argument is a package ID specification of the package to remove (see
       cargo-pkgid(1)).

       By default all binaries are removed for a crate but the --bin and
       --example flags can be used to only remove particular binaries.

       The installation root is determined, in order of precedence:

       o  --root option

       o  CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable

       o  install.root Cargo config value
          <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>

       o  CARGO_HOME environment variable

       o  $HOME/.cargo

OPTIONS
   Install Options
       -p, --package spec...

       --bin name...
           Only uninstall the binary name.

       --root dir
           Directory to uninstall packages from.

   Display Options
       -v, --verbose
           Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output
           which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build
           script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config
           value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       -q, --quiet
           Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the
           term.quiet config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       --color when
           Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

           o  auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is
              available on the terminal.

           o  always: Always display colors.

           o  never: Never display colors.

           May also be specified with the term.color config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Common Options
       +toolchain
           If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to
           cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain
           name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation
           <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more
           information about how toolchain overrides work.

       --config KEY=VALUE
           Overrides a Cargo configuration value.

       -h, --help
           Prints help information.

       -Z flag
           Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for
           details.

ENVIRONMENT
       See the reference
       <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
       for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS
       o  0: Cargo succeeded.

       o  101: Cargo failed to complete.

       1. Uninstall a previously installed package.
