## DESCRIPTION

Shows information found in the loaded indexes about a specific release (see below to narrow the searched milestones). By default, only direct dependencies are reported. With *--solve*, a full solution is resolved and reported in list and graph form.

With *--external*, the external definitions for a crate are shown, instead of information about a particular release Version selection syntax (global policy applies within the allowed version subsets):

crate        	Newest/oldest version\
 crate=version	Exact version\
 crate^version	Major-compatible version\
 crate~version	Minor-compatible version
