The command you provided is used to assemble assembly language source code files (${source-asm}) using the NASM assembler. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
nasm: It is the command to run the NASM assembler.-f ${format}: The-foption specifies the output file format.${format}is a placeholder for the desired output format, such aself,macho,win32, etc. Different formats are available depending on the target platform or system the assembly code is intended for.${source-asm}: This represents the input source code file in assembly language that you want to assemble.${source-asm}is a placeholder for the actual file name or path.-o ${output_file}: The-ooption specifies the output file name or path for the assembled object code.${output_file}is a placeholder for the desired output file name or path.
In summary, the command takes an assembly source code file, assembles it using NASM with the specified format, and generates an object code file with the given output file name or path.
