tcc: Compile and link 2 source files to generate an executable.
$ tcc -o ${executable_name} ${filename1-c} ${filename2-c}
try on your machine

This command is using the Tiny C Compiler (TCC) to compile and link multiple C source files into an executable file. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • tcc: This is the command to invoke the Tiny C Compiler.

  • -o: This option is used to specify the output file, in this case, the executable file that will be generated.

  • ${executable_name}: This is a placeholder for the desired name of the executable file. You should replace ${executable_name} with the actual name you want to use for your executable.

  • ${filename1-c}: This is the first C source file to be compiled. It is indicated by ${filename1-c}. You should replace ${filename1-c} with the actual name of your first C source file, including the .c extension.

  • ${filename2-c}: This is the second C source file to be compiled. It is indicated by ${filename2-c}. You should replace ${filename2-c} with the actual name of your second C source file, including the .c extension.

So, when you run this command with the appropriate values, TCC will compile the two specified C source files and generate an executable file with the given name.

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.
