       -o, --output=FILE
               Output wasm binary file. Use "-" to write to stdout.

       -r, --relocatable
               Create a relocatable wasm binary (suitable for linking with e.g. lld)

       --no-canonicalize-leb128s
               Write all LEB128 sizes as 5-bytes instead of their minimal size

       --debug-names
               Write debug names to the generated binary file

       --no-check
               Don't check for invalid modules

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
