wasm2c: Write the output to a given file (`file.h` gets additionally generated).
$ wasm2c ${file-wasm} -o ${file-c}
try on your machine

The command "wasm2c ${file-wasm} -o ${file-c}" is used to convert a WebAssembly (.wasm) file into a corresponding C (.c) file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  1. "wasm2c": This is the name of the command-line tool being executed. It is used to convert WebAssembly to C code.

  2. "${file-wasm}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the path or name of the input WebAssembly file. The "${file-wasm}" syntax implies that it is a variable that holds the value of the input file.

  3. "-o": This flag is used to specify the output file.

  4. "${file-c}": Similar to the input file placeholder, this is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the desired path or name of the output C file. The "${file-c}" syntax suggests that it is a variable holding the value of the output file.

In summary, this command takes a WebAssembly file as input and generates an equivalent C source code file as output using the wasm2c tool.
