+# Cargo Specifics - Checking Conditional Configurations
+
+<!--
+This page is currently (as of May 2024) the canonical place for describing the interaction
+between Cargo and --check-cfg. It is placed in the rustc book rather than the Cargo book
+since check-cfg is primarely a Rust/rustc feature and is therefor consider by T-cargo to
+be an implementation detail, at least --check-cfg and the unexpected_cfgs are owned by
+rustc, not Cargo.
+-->
+
+This document is intented to summarize the principal ways Cargo interacts with
+the `unexpected_cfgs` lint and `--check-cfg` flag. It is not intended to provide
+individual details, for that refer to the [`--check-cfg` documentation](../check-cfg.md) and
+to the [Cargo book](../../cargo/index.html).
+
+## Cargo feature
+
+*See the [`[features]` section in the Cargo book][cargo-features] for more details.*
+
+With the `[features]` table Cargo provides a mechanism to express conditional compilation and
+optional dependencies. Cargo *automatically* declares corresponding cfgs for every feature as
+expected.
+
+`Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[features]
+serde = ["dep:serde"]
+my_feature = []
+```
+
+[cargo-features]: ../../cargo/reference/features.html
+
+## `check-cfg` in `[lints.rust]` table
+
+<!-- Note that T-Cargo considers `[lints.rust.unexpected_cfgs.check-cfg]` to be an
+implementation detail and is therefor not documented in Cargo, we therefor do that ourself -->
+
+*See the [`[lints]` section in the Cargo book][cargo-lints-table] for more details.*
+
+When using a staticlly known custom config (ie. not dependant on a build-script), Cargo provides
+the custom lint config `check-cfg` under `[lints.rust.unexpected_cfgs]`.
+
+It can be used to set custom static [`--check-cfg`](../check-cfg.md) args, it is mainly useful when
+the list of expected cfgs is known is advance.
+
+`Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[lints.rust]
+unexpected_cfgs = { level = "warn", check-cfg = ['cfg(has_foo)'] }
+```
+
+[cargo-lints-table]: ../../cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-lints-section
+
+## `cargo::rustc-check-cfg` for `build.rs`/build-script
+
+*See the [`cargo::rustc-check-cfg` section in the Cargo book][cargo-rustc-check-cfg] for more details.*
+
+When setting a custom config with [`cargo::rustc-cfg`][cargo-rustc-cfg], Cargo provides the
+corollary instruction: [`cargo::rustc-check-cfg`][cargo-rustc-check-cfg] to expect custom configs.
+
+`build.rs`:
+```rust,ignore (cannot-test-this-because-has_foo-isnt-declared)
+fn main() {
+    println!("cargo::rustc-check-cfg=cfg(has_foo)");
+    //        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ new with Cargo 1.80
+    if has_foo() {
+        println!("cargo::rustc-cfg=has_foo");
+    }
+}
+```
