size: Display the size of sections in a given object or executable file.
$ size ${filename}

The command "size ${filename}" is used to determine the size of a file. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "size": Refers to the command or utility used to retrieve the size information of a file.
  • "${filename}": Represents a variable placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to obtain its size. For example, if you want to check the size of a file named "example.txt", you would replace "${filename}" with "example.txt".

Once you replace "${filename}" with the appropriate file name, executing the command will display the size of the specified file.
