WASI

You can also browse this source code online and clone the wasmtime repository to run the example locally.

This example shows off how to instantiate a wasm module using WASI imports.

Wasm Source code

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

wasi.c

/*
Example of instantiating a WebAssembly which uses WASI imports.

You can compile and run this example on Linux with:

   cmake examples/
   cargo build --release -p wasmtime-c-api
   cc examples/wasi/main.c \
       -I crates/c-api/include \
       target/release/libwasmtime.a \
       -lpthread -ldl -lm \
       -o wasi
   ./wasi

Note that on Windows and macOS the command will be similar, but you'll need
to tweak the `-lpthread` and such annotations.

You can also build using cmake:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --target wasmtime-wasi
