nim:tldr:e111c

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

This command will compile and run a Nim source file with the file name specified by the variable filename-nim.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • nim: It is the command to run the Nim compiler.
  • compile: It is a subcommand of the Nim compiler command, used to compile Nim source code.
  • -r: It is a flag used to run the compiled program immediately after successful compilation.
  • ${filename-nim}: It is a variable placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the Nim source file (without the nim extension).

To use this command, you would need to replace ${filename-nim} with the name of your actual Nim source file. For example, if your file is named hello.nim, the command would become: nim compile -r hello.nim.

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.
