## Binaries

Binary targets are executable programs that can be run after being compiled.
The default binary filename is `src/main.rs`, which defaults to the name of
the package. Additional binaries are stored in the [`src/bin/`
directory][package layout]. The settings for each binary can be [customized]
in the `[[bin]]` tables in `Cargo.toml`.
A binary's source can be `src/main.rs` and/or stored in the [`src/bin/`
directory][package layout]. For `src/main.rs`, the default binary name is the
package name. The settings for each binary can be [customized] in the`[[bin]]`
tables in `Cargo.toml`.

Binaries can use the public API of the package's library. They are also linked
with the [`[dependencies]`][dependencies] defined in `Cargo.toml`.
