luac:tldr:6136a

This command is used to compile a Lua source code file into bytecode using the Lua compiler (luac).

Here is the breakdown of the command:

• luac is the Lua compiler command.
• -s is an option which enables stripping debugging information from the bytecode. This reduces the size of the bytecode file but makes it harder to debug.
• -o is an option followed by the output file name (in this case ${byte_code-luac}). It specifies the name of the compiled bytecode file that will be generated.
• ${byte_code-luac} is a placeholder for the name of the output bytecode file. This is typically replaced with an actual file name while executing the command.
• ${source-lua} is a placeholder for the name of the Lua source code file that needs to be compiled. This is also typically replaced with an actual file name while executing the command.

To summarize, this command compiles a Lua source code file into bytecode using the Lua compiler (luac) and generates a stripped version of the bytecode file. The output bytecode file is specified using the -o option and the input source code file is specified using the ${source-lua} placeholder.
