read data from stdin. Alternatively, you can use `cargo fmt` to format all
binary and library targets of your crate.
-You'll probably want to specify the write mode. Currently, there are modes for
-`diff`, `replace`, `overwrite`, `display`, `coverage`, `checkstyle`, and `plain`.
-
-* `overwrite` Is the default and overwrites the original files _without_ creating backups.
-* `replace` Overwrites the original files after creating backups of the files.
-* `display` Will print the formatted files to stdout.
-* `plain` Also writes to stdout, but with no metadata.
-* `diff` Will print a diff between the original files and formatted files to stdout.
- Will also exit with an error code if there are any differences.
-* `checkstyle` Will output the lines that need to be corrected as a checkstyle XML file,
- that can be used by tools like Jenkins.
-
-The write mode can be set by passing the `--write-mode` flag on
-the command line. For example `rustfmt --write-mode=display src/filename.rs`
-
-`cargo fmt` uses `--write-mode=overwrite` by default.
-
-If you want to restrict reformatting to specific sets of lines, you can
-use the `--file-lines` option. Its argument is a JSON array of objects
-with `file` and `range` properties, where `file` is a file name, and
-`range` is an array representing a range of lines like `[7,13]`. Ranges
-are 1-based and inclusive of both end points. Specifying an empty array
-will result in no files being formatted. For example,
+You can run `rustfmt --help` for information about argument.
-```
-rustfmt --file-lines '[
- {"file":"src/lib.rs","range":[7,13]},
- {"file":"src/lib.rs","range":[21,29]},
- {"file":"src/foo.rs","range":[10,11]},
- {"file":"src/foo.rs","range":[15,15]}]'
-```
-
-would format lines `7-13` and `21-29` of `src/lib.rs`, and lines `10-11`,
-and `15` of `src/foo.rs`. No other files would be formatted, even if they
-are included as out of line modules from `src/lib.rs`.
-
-If `rustfmt` successfully reformatted the code it will exit with `0` exit
-status. Exit status `1` signals some unexpected error, like an unknown option or
-a failure to read a file. Exit status `2` is returned if there are syntax errors
-in the input files. `rustfmt` can't format syntactically invalid code. Finally,
-exit status `3` is returned if there are some issues which can't be resolved
-automatically. For example, if you have a very long comment line `rustfmt`
-doesn't split it. Instead it prints a warning and exits with `3`.
+When running with `--check`, Rustfmt will exit with `0` if Rustfmt would not
+make any formatting changes to the input, and `1` if Rustfmt would make changes.
+In other modes, Rustfmt will exit with `1` if there was some error during
+formatting (for example a parsing or internal error) and `0` if formatting
+completed without error (whether or not changes were made).
-You can run `rustfmt --help` for more information.
## Running Rustfmt from your editor
## Checking style on a CI server
To keep your code base consistently formatted, it can be helpful to fail the CI build
-when a pull request contains unformatted code. Using `--write-mode=diff` instructs
+when a pull request contains unformatted code. Using `--check` instructs
rustfmt to exit with an error code if the input is not formatted correctly.
It will also print any found differences.
```yaml

- rustup component add rustfmt-preview
script:

```
* For things you do not want rustfmt to mangle, use one of
```rust
- #[rustfmt_skip] // requires nightly and #![feature(custom_attribute)] in crate root
+ #[rustfmt::skip] // requires nightly Rust and #![feature(tool_attributes)] in crate root
#[cfg_attr(rustfmt, rustfmt_skip)] // works in stable
```
* When you run rustfmt, place a file named `rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml` in
projects / rust.git / blobdiff
