  • Specify arguments after `--`:
  • ```bash
  • cargo run --offline -- --my-argument 42
  • ```
  • `--offline` is just an example of cargo's own argument. They are passed before `--`.
  • `--my-argument` and `42` will be passed to your program.

cargo run --offline -- --my-argument 42

`--offline` is just an example of cargo's own argument. They are passed before `--`.

`--my-argument` and `42` will be passed to your program.
