usage: wat2wasm [options] filename
read a file in the wasm text format, check it for errors, and
convert it to the wasm binary format.
examples:
# parse test.wat and write to .wasm binary file with the same name
$ wat2wasm test.wat
# parse test.wat and write to binary file test.wasm
$ wat2wasm test.wat -o test.wasm
# parse spec-test.wast, and write verbose output to stdout (including
# the meaning of every byte)
$ wat2wasm spec-test.wast -v
options:
--help Print this help message
--version Print version information
-v, --verbose Use multiple times for more info
-d, --dump-module Print a hexdump of the module to stdout
