c99: Compile source file(s), link with object file(s), and create an executable.

$ c99 ${file-c} ${file-o}

try on your machine

The command "c99 ${file-c} ${file-o}" is using the c99 compiler to compile a C source file.

Here is the breakdown of each component:

"c99": This is the command to invoke the c99 compiler. The c99 compiler is a popular compiler for the C programming language.
"${file-c}": This represents the name of the C source file that you want to compile. The "${file-c}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file name when executing the command. Note that the "-c" option specifies that the compiler should only perform the compilation step and not the linking step.
"${file-o}": This represents the output object file name. The "${file-o}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name for the output file. The "-o" option specifies the name of the output file.
