wasm-objdump: Display the entire disassembled output of a given binary.
$ wasm-objdump -d ${file-wasm}
try on your machine

The command "wasm-objdump -d ${file-wasm}" is used to disassemble a WebAssembly module and display its detailed information.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "wasm-objdump" refers to the WebAssembly object dump tool. It is a command-line utility used to analyze and display the contents of WebAssembly files.
  • "-d" is an option for the "wasm-objdump" tool, specifying the disassemble mode. It instructs the tool to disassemble the binary module and provide the corresponding textual representation of the module's instructions.
  • "${file-wasm}" represents a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual file name of the WebAssembly module you want to disassemble. Ensure you provide the correct file path and extension.

When you run this command with a valid WebAssembly file, it will generate an output displaying the disassembled instructions of the module. This can be useful for inspecting the low-level code of a compiled WebAssembly module and understanding its structure and behavior.
