kotlinc: Execute a specific Kotlin Script file.
$ kotlinc -script ${filename-kts}
try on your machine
The command kotlinc -script ${filename-kts}
is used to run a Kotlin script file using the Kotlin compiler.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
kotlinc
: This is the command to invoke the Kotlin compiler.-script
: This is a parameter that specifies that we want to run a Kotlin script.${filename-kts}
: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the Kotlin script file (with a.kts
extension). This syntax suggests that the value should be substituted in if it exists, otherwise the default value should be used.
In practice, you would replace ${filename-kts}
with the name of your Kotlin script file to execute it.
For example, if you have a Kotlin script file named example.kts
, you would run the command as kotlinc -script example.kts
. This command will compile and execute the script, producing the desired output depending on what the script does.
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.
