arduino-builder: Compile a sketch.
$ arduino-builder -compile ${path-to-sketch-ino}
try on your machine
The command "arduino-builder -compile ${path-to-sketch-ino}" is used to compile an Arduino sketch file (.ino) using the Arduino Builder tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "arduino-builder": This is the command-line tool that comes with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), and it is responsible for compiling Arduino sketches.
- "-compile": This is an option or flag that is passed to the arduino-builder tool. It instructs the tool to perform a compilation of the specified sketch file.
- "${path-to-sketch-ino}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the Arduino sketch file (.ino) that you want to compile. The absolute or relative path can be used based on the location of the sketch file on your computer.
To use this command, you would replace "${path-to-sketch-ino}" with the actual path to your sketch file, and then execute the command in a terminal or command prompt. The arduino-builder tool will then compile the sketch and generate the corresponding output files, such as the compiled binary (.hex) file or any error messages if the compilation fails.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
