nasm: Assemble `source.asm` into a binary file `source`, in the (default) raw binary format.
$ nasm ${source-asm}
try on your machine
This command is using the NASM assembler (Netwide Assembler) to assemble an assembly language source file named ${source-asm}.
The syntax ${source-asm} is a placeholder, typically used in shell or batch scripting where ${source-asm} would be replaced with the actual filename or path of the assembly source file.
NASM is a widely used assembler for x86 architecture and compatible processors. It takes assembly language source code as input and produces object files as output, which can then be linked and executed as machine code.
In summary, this command specifies the NASM assembler and the source file it should assemble.
