Docs on the target folder structure

[pepsighan]

I searched through the cargo docs and google but could not find what each of the files and folders within target/[mode] represents. Any direction to the said docs would be great.

[stale]

As there hasn't been any activity here in over 6 months I've marked this as stale and if no further activity happens for 7 days I will close it.

I'm a bot so this may be in error! If this issue should remain open, could someone (the author, a team member, or any interested party) please comment to that effect?

The team would be especially grateful if such a comment included details such as:

• Is this still relevant?
• If so, what is blocking it?
• Is it known what could be done to help move this forward?

Thank you for contributing!

(The cargo team is currently evaluating the use of Stale bot, and using #6035 as the tracking issue to gather feedback.)

If you're reading this comment from the distant future, fear not if this was closed automatically. If you believe it's still an issue please leave a comment and a team member can reopen this issue. Opening a new issue is also acceptable!

I agree this would be useful. Even just an initially small amount of information might go a long way.

Perhaps some of it is reserved implementation detail, but I would guess some of it is stable by now.

This is useful, for instance:

• for better caching, as well as
• to tweak the behaviour of the clean command, for which there are a few tickets

Could anyone provide some info? Even just as a comment here and I'll go through the motions of landing it into on a doc page.
