nasm: Add a directory (must be written with trailing slash) to the include file search path before assembling.

nasm

$ nasm -i ${path-to-include_dir-} ${source-asm}

try on your machine

The command "nasm" is a command-line assembler used to assemble assembly language code into machine code or object files. Below is an explanation of each part of the command:

"nasm": This is the actual command that executes the NASM assembler.
"-i": This flag is used to specify an include directory. The include directory is a location where NASM will look for additional files that your source assembly code may depend on.
"${path-to-include_dir}": This is the placeholder for the file path of the include directory. You should replace this with the actual path to the directory containing the files you want to include.
"${source-asm}": This is the placeholder for the file name of the source assembly file you want to assemble. You should replace this with the actual file name of your assembly code file.

When you run this command, NASM will use the specified include directory (if provided) to search for any additional files referenced in your source assembly file. It will then assemble the source code, converting it into machine code or object files, depending on the NASM's settings or command-line options used.
