nim

The Nim compiler. Processes, compiles and links Nim language source files. More information: https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html.

• Compile a source file:

nim {{[c|compile]}} {{path/to/file.nim}}

• Compile and run a source file:

nim {{[c|compile]}} {{[-r|--run]}} {{path/to/file.nim}}

• Compile a source file with release optimizations enabled:

nim {{[c|compile]}} {{[-d|--define]}}:release {{path/to/file.nim}}

• Build a release binary optimized for low file size:

nim {{[c|compile]}} {{[-d|--define]}}:release --opt:size {{path/to/file.nim}}

• Generate HTML documentation for a module (output will be placed in the current directory):

nim doc {{path/to/file.nim}}

• Check a file for syntax and semantics:

nim check {{path/to/file.nim}}
