kotlinc: Compile a Kotlin file.
$ kotlinc ${filename-kt}
try on your machine
The command kotlinc ${filename-kt}
is used to invoke the Kotlin compiler (kotlinc
) with a specific Kotlin source file ${filename-kt}
as input.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:
kotlinc
: This is the executable command for the Kotlin compiler.${filename-kt}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the Kotlin source file.${filename-kt}
indicates that the value for this placeholder should be provided when running the command. It is expected to be the name of the Kotlin source file with the extension.kt
.
For example, if you have a Kotlin source file named HelloWorld.kt
, you would run the command as kotlinc HelloWorld.kt
.
The purpose of using this command is to compile Kotlin code and generate the corresponding bytecode or executable file.
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.
