+@c man title gccrs A GCC-based compiler for the Rust programming language
+
+@c man begin DESCRIPTION gccrs
+
+The @command{gccrs} command is a frontend to @command{gcc} and
+supports many of the same options, @xref{Option Summary, , Option
+Summary, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)}, as well
+as some @command{gccrs} specific ones. This manual only documents
+the options that are specific to @command{gccrs}.
+
+@c man end
+
+@c man begin OPTIONS gccrust
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-incomplete-and-experimental-compiler-do-not-use}
+@item -frust-incomplete-and-experimental-compiler-do-not-use
+This flag enables the compilation of Rust code with the GCC Rust compiler.
+It is used to indicate the unstability of the compiler, and reminds the user
+about the expected incoming breakage. @command{gccrs} is not yet able to
+compile real Rust code, or to report valid errors when seeing incorrect Rust.
+It also does not compile and link to the Rust standard library, meaning you
+are not able to access most existing Rust types, macros and functions.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-mini-std}
+@item -frust-mini-std
+Add the @code{mini_std} module to the crate you are currently compiling. This miniature
+standard library is experimental, and does not represent a strict subset of Rust's
+standard library. It is there so that you can have access to basic Rust functionality,
+such as common arithmetic operations on natural numbers or printing basic strings to
+the standard output streams.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-borrowcheck}
+@item -frust-borrowcheck
+Enable the experimental borrow-checking pass in the @command{gccrs} pipeline. This pass
+feeds information to @command{polonius}, a next-generation borrow-checking algorithm for
+Rust. It is incomplete and cannot be used to safely analyze Rust borrowing rules with
+@command{gccrs} yet.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-cfg}
+@item -frust-cfg=@var{input}
+Specify a @code{#[cfg]} directive for the Rust compiler. This is used in Rust code
+to perform conditional compilation. The input can be of the form @code{key} or @code{key=value}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-compile-until}
+@item -frust-compile-until=@var{step}
+Stop the compilation at a certain stage in the @command{gccrs} pipeline. The available steps are:
+@code{ast}, @code{attributecheck}, @code{expansion}, @code{astvalidation}, @code{featuregating}, @code{nameresolution}, @code{lowering}, @code{typecheck}, @code{privacy}, @code{unsafety}, @code{const}, @code{borrowcheck}, @code{compilation}, @code{end}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-crate-type}
+@item -frust-crate-type=@var{type}
+What type of crate to produce using @command{gccrs}. While the official Rust compiler supports
+multiple options such as @code{staticlib} or @code{rlib}, the Rust compiler for GCC does not.
+The complete list of accepted @code{type}s is as follows: @code{bin}, @code{lib}, @code{rlib}, @code{dylib}, @code{cdylib}, @code{staticlib}, @code{proc_macro}.
+The list of supported @code{type}s is: @code{bin}, @code{proc_macro}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-crate}
+@item -frust-crate=@var{name}
+Specify the name to use for the crate we are producing.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-edition}
+@item -frust-edition=@var{year}
+Rust edition to use when compiling the code. Available editions are @code{2015}, @code{2018} and @code{2021}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-embed-metadata}
+@item -frust-embed-metadata
+Enable embedding metadata directly into object files.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-metadata-output}
+@item -frust-metadata-output=@var{path}
+Path where crate metadata should be written.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-extern}
+@item -frust-extern=@var{path}
+Specify a path from which an external crate should be loaded.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-mangling}
+@item -frust-mangling=@var{version}
+Mangling algorithm to use: @code{legacy} or @code{v0}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-max-recursion-depth}
+@item -frust-max-recursion-depth=@var{max_value}
+Set the maximum recursion depth for macro expansion. The default is 128.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-name-resolution-2.0}
+@item -frust-name-resolution-2.0
+Switch to the experimental name resolution algorithm which is currently being rewritten.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-debug}
+@item -frust-debug
+Turn on debug printing from the Rust compiler frontend. This does not turn on debug
+information for the produced binaries, and will create a lot of noise on the output.
+This option is aimed for the developers of @command{gccrs}.
+
+@cindex @option{-frust-dump-}
+@item -frust-dump-@var{to_dump}
+Create debug dump files from various passes of the @command{gccrs} pipeline.
+Available dumps are: @code{lex}, @code{ast-pretty}, @code{register_plugins}, @code{injection}, @code{expansion}, @code{resolution}, @code{target_options}, @code{hir}, @code{hir-pretty}, @code{all}
