In the context of C programming, the term “commands” often refers to the instructions written in a C program. However, when it comes to interacting with the terminal or command-line interface (CLI), what are often referred to as “commands” are the executables or scripts that can be run from the terminal. The term “command” can also refer to the instruction given in the terminal to compile or run a program.

Here are some interactions related to C programming that one might perform in a terminal:

1. Compiling a C program:
   • To compile a C program, you would typically use a command like this, where gcc is the compiler, and program.c is the source file:
     bash gcc -o program program.c
   • The -o program part tells the compiler to create an output file named program.
2. Running a C program:
   • After compiling, you would run the program with a command like this:
     bash ./program
3. Debugging a C program:
   • You might use a debugger like gdb to debug your program:
     bash gdb ./program
4. Cleaning up compiled files:
   • If you have a Makefile, you might have a command to clean up compiled files:
     bash make clean

These are not “C commands” per se, but rather terminal commands related to the compilation, execution, and debugging of C programs. In each of these examples, gcc, ./program, gdb, and make are commands executed in the terminal, not commands within the C programming language itself.
