nim: Compile a source file.
$ nim compile ${filename-nim}
try on your machine

The command "nim compile ${filename-nim}" is not a standalone command but rather a template command where ${filename-nim} is a placeholder for the actual filename of a Nim source code file.

The command suggests that it is used to compile Nim programming language source code files. To use this command, you would replace ${filename-nim} with the actual name of the Nim file you want to compile, including the ".nim" extension.

For example, if you have a file named "hello.nim" that contains Nim code, the command would become:

nim compile hello.nim

This command instructs the Nim compiler to read the given Nim file and attempt to compile it into an executable or an object file depending on the compiler flags and options used. The resulting output can then be run or linked further as needed.

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.
