## Using the rust tool
|
||||
|
||||
While using `rustc` directly to generate your executables, and then
|
||||
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 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.

## Editing Rust code

There are vim highlighting and indentation scripts in the Rust source
