clang: Compile a source code file into an executable binary.
$ clang ${input_source-c} -o ${output_executable}
try on your machine
This command is using the clang command-line compiler to compile source code into an executable. Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "clang" is the name of the compiler program being executed.
- "${input_source-c}" is a variable denoting the source code file to be compiled. The "-c" option is used with clang to tell it to compile but not link the source code, generating an object file.
- "-o" is an option followed by "${output_executable}", denoting the output file name for the resulting executable that will be generated by the compiler.
In summary, this command is compiling a source code file using the clang compiler and generating an executable file with the specified name.
