solcjs: Compile a specific contract to hex.
$ solcjs --bin ${filename-sol}
try on your machine
The command "solcjs --bin ${filename-sol}" is used to compile a Solidity source code file (with a .sol extension) to bytecode. Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "solcjs" is the command to invoke the Solidity compiler.
- "--bin" is a flag specifying that the output of the compilation should include the compiled bytecode (also known as the binary code).
- "${filename-sol}" is a placeholder referring to the name of the Solidity source code file. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual name of your .sol file (excluding the .sol extension).
Overall, this command instructs the Solidity compiler to compile a specific .sol file and generate the bytecode as part of the output.
