meson

$ meson init --language=${c} --name=${myproject} --version=${0-1}

try on your machine

This command is used to initialize a new Meson build system for a project. Meson is a high-performance build system used to compile and manage software projects.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

meson init is the command to initialize a Meson build system.
--language=${c} specifies the programming language of the project. In this case, it is set to ${c} which indicates that the value for the language will be provided by the user.
--name=${myproject} sets the name of the project. Similar to the language, ${myproject} represents a variable that requires a user-defined value.
--version=${0-1} sets the version number for the project. Again, ${0-1} is a variable placeholder that expects a user-specified value.

By replacing the variables ${c}, ${myproject}, and ${0-1} with appropriate values, this command will generate the necessary files and folders to start building the project using Meson.
