# SubCommands
Cargo is a single binary composed of a set of [`clap`] subcommands. All
subcommands live in [`src/bin/cargo/commands`] directory.
[`src/bin/cargo/main.rs`] is the entry point.
Each subcommand, such as [`src/bin/cargo/commands/build.rs`], usually performs
the following:
1. Parse the CLI flags. See the [`command_prelude`] module for some helpers to make this easier.
2. Load the config files.
3. Discover and load the workspace.
4. Calls the actual implementation of the subcommand which resides in [`src/cargo/ops`].
If the subcommand is not found in the built-in list, then Cargo will
automatically search for a subcommand named `cargo-{NAME}` in the users `PATH`
to execute the subcommand.
