wat2wasm: Write the output binary to a given file.
$ wat2wasm ${file-wat} -o ${file-wasm}
try on your machine
This command is written in a Unix shell syntax. It is used to convert a WebAssembly Text Format (.wat) file to a WebAssembly Binary Format (.wasm) file.
Here is an explanation of the command's components:
wat2wasm: This is the name of the command-line utility or executable that performs the conversion. It is likely that this utility corresponds to a specific tool or compiler for working with WebAssembly.${file-wat}: This is a placeholder or variable indicating the input file name. In this case, it is expected to be a.watfile that you want to convert to the binary.wasmformat. You need to replace${file-wat}with the actual name of your.watfile.-o: This flag specifies the output file option.${file-wasm}: Similar to${file-wat}, this is another placeholder or variable indicating the output file name. It represents the name you want to give to the resulting.wasmfile. You need to replace${file-wasm}with the desired name for your output file.
To use this command, you need to run it in a Unix shell like Terminal, replacing ${file-wat} and ${file-wasm} with the appropriate file names. For example:
wat2wasm my_file.wat -o my_file.wasm
This will convert the my_file.wat file to a binary WebAssembly file named my_file.wasm.
