nim: Build a release binary optimized for low file size.
$ nim compile -d:release --opt:size ${filename-nim}
try on your machine

This command is used to compile a Nim source code file with the following options:

  • nim compile: This is the command to compile a Nim source code file.
  • -d:release: This flag enables the release mode compilation. In release mode, the compiler applies optimizations that prioritize the size and performance of the resulting binary.
  • --opt:size: This flag specifies that the optimization goal is to reduce the size of the binary.
  • ${filename-nim}: This placeholder should be replaced with the actual filename of the Nim source code file you want to compile.

Overall, this command instructs the Nim compiler to compile the specified Nim source code file in release mode with size optimizations, resulting in a smaller and potentially faster binary output.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
