ocamlopt: Compile a source file.
$ ocamlopt -o ${path-to-binary} ${path-to-source_file-ml}
try on your machine

This command is used to compile an OCaml source file and produce a binary executable as output. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • ocamlopt: This is the name of the OCaml native code compiler.
  • -o: This option is used to specify the name of the output binary file.
  • ${path-to-binary}: This should be replaced with the desired path and name for the output binary file.
  • ${path-to-source_file-ml}: This should be replaced with the path and name of the OCaml source file (.ml) that you want to compile.

So, when you run this command with the appropriate replacements, it will compile the specified source file using the OCaml native code compiler and create a binary executable file with the specified name and path.

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.
