Struct TargetExplanation 

pub struct TargetExplanation {
    pub package: String,
    pub target: String,
    pub target_kind: String,
    pub languages: Vec<String>,
    pub deps: Vec<String>,
    pub is_buildable: bool,
    pub is_test: bool,
    pub is_dev_only: bool,
}

Explain a target’s owning package, kind, language summary, and dependency edges. cabin explain target <name> only considers targets in the selected package closure.

Fields

package: String

target: String

target_kind: String

Target kind as the stable string the rest of Cabin uses (library, executable, test, …). Named target_kind rather than kind to avoid colliding with the Explanation tag field in the JSON shape.

languages: Vec<String>

Names of source-language families the target carries (c, cxx, rust). Sorted alphabetically.

deps: Vec<String>

Manifest-declared deps for this target, in declaration order. The orchestration layer normalizes each entry’s rendering.

is_buildable: bool

true for every kind that produces a Ninja action (library, executable, test, example). header_only is the only buildable=false kind. is_test and is_dev_only further classify whether the target reaches the default cabin build selection.

is_test: bool

true for test only.

is_dev_only: bool

true for the dev-only kinds (test, example).
