## Package Layout

Cargo uses conventions for file placement to make it easy to dive into a new Cargo package:

    .
    ├── Cargo.lock
    ├── Cargo.toml
    ├── src/
    │   ├── lib.rs
    │   ├── main.rs
    │   └── bin/
    │       ├── named-executable.rs
    │       ├── another-executable.rs
    │       └── multi-file-executable/
    │           ├── main.rs
    │           └── some_module.rs
    ├── benches/
    │   ├── large-input.rs
    │   └── multi-file-bench/
    │       ├── main.rs
    │       └── bench_module.rs
    ├── examples/
    │   ├── simple.rs
    │   └── multi-file-example/
    │       ├── main.rs
    │       └── ex_module.rs
    └── tests/
        ├── some-integration-tests.rs
        └── multi-file-test/
            ├── main.rs
            └── test_module.rs

- `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock` are stored in the root of your package (package root).
- Source code goes in the `src` directory.
- The default library file is `src/lib.rs`.
- The default executable file is `src/main.rs`.
  - Other executables can be placed in `src/bin/`.
- Benchmarks go in the `benches` directory.
- Examples go in the `examples` directory.
- Integration tests go in the `tests` directory.

If a binary, example, bench, or integration test consists of multiple source files, place a `main.rs` file along with the extra modules within a subdirectory of the `src/bin`, `examples`, `benches`, or `tests` directory. The name of the executable will be the directory name.
