Usage

USAGE:
    whatfeatures [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <crate>

FLAGS:
    -d, --deps           Display dependencies for this crate
    -h, --help           Prints help information
    -j, --json           Use JSON as the output format. Defaults to a textual format
    -l, --list           List all versions for the crate
    -n, --no-features    Disable listing the features for the crate
    -s, --short          Display only the name and version, such as foo/0.1.2
    -y, --show-yanked    Shows any yanked versions. Defaults to hiding them

OPTIONS:
    -c, --color <bool>        Attempts to use colors when printing as text [default: true]
    -v, --version <semver>    A specific version to lookup. e.g. 0.7.1

ARGS:
    <crate>    The name of the crate to retrieve information for

This allows you to lookup a specific crate, at a specific version and get its default and optional features. It also allows listing the deps for the specified crate.
