wasm2c: Convert a file to a C source file and header and display it to the console.
$ wasm2c ${file-wasm}
try on your machine

The command "wasm2c ${file-wasm}" is used to convert a WebAssembly file (with the extension ".wasm") into C code.

Here's how the command works:

  1. The "${file-wasm}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the WebAssembly file you want to convert. For example, if your file is called "example.wasm", the command should be written as: "wasm2c example.wasm".

  2. Once you provide the correct file name, the "wasm2c" tool will read the WebAssembly binary file and convert it into equivalent C code.

  3. The resulting C code can be used to integrate the WebAssembly module with C or C++ projects, or even to inspect and understand the functionality implemented in the WebAssembly module.

Overall, this command allows you to generate C code from a WebAssembly file, providing you with a way to work with WebAssembly modules in a C programming environment.
