csc:tldr:95b88

csc: Specify the output filename.
$ csc /out:${filenamename} ${path-to-input_file-cs}
try on your machine

This command is written in the command-line compiler for Microsoft C# (CSharp). Let's break down the different parts of the command:

  • csc: This is the command used to invoke the C# compiler.
  • /out:${filenamename}: This switch specifies the name and location of the output file that will be generated by the compiler. The ${filenamename} represents a variable that should be replaced with an actual filename before running the command.
  • ${path-to-input_file-cs}: This represents the path to the input file (C# source code file) that will be compiled. The ${path-to-input_file-cs} variable should be replaced with the actual path to the input file before running the command.

In summary, the command's purpose is to compile a C# source code file specified by ${path-to-input_file-cs} and produce an output file with the name ${filenamename}. The output file will contain the compiled code.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
