Usage

quiet	logical scalar, whether to signal successful writing of LICENSE.note (default is FALSE)

Details

LICENSE.note generated by this function contains information about all recursive dependencies in Rust crate.

The authors field in Cargo metadata is deprecated upstream (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/16458). This function relies on that field and may produce incomplete or missing author information as crates stop populating or removes the field entirely.
