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.wat
file that you want to convert to the binary.wasm
format. You need to replace${file-wat}
with the actual name of your.wat
file.-o
: This flag specifies the output file option.${file-wasm}
: Similar to${file-wat}
, this is another placeholder or variable indicating the output file name. It represents the name you want to give to the resulting.wasm
file. You need to replace${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
.
