  29. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  30. .Nm
  31. escapes strings for use in JavaScript string literals while generating the shortest possible valid ASCII-only output.
  32. .Sh OPTIONS
  33. .Bl -ohang -offset
  34. .It Sy "-s, --single-quotes"
  35. Escape any occurrences of ' in the input string as \\', so that the output can be used in a JavaScript string literal wrapped in single quotes.
  36. .It Sy "-d, --double-quotes"
  37. Escape any occurrences of " in the input string as \\", so that the output can be used in a JavaScript string literal wrapped in double quotes.
  38. .It Sy "-w, --wrap"
  39. Make sure the output is a valid JavaScript string literal wrapped in quotes. The type of quotes can be specified using the
  40. .Ar -s | --single-quotes
  41. or
  42. .Ar -d | --double-quotes
  43. settings.
  44. .It Sy "-6, --es6"
  45. Escape any astral Unicode symbols using ECMAScript 6 Unicode code point escape sequences.
  46. .It Sy "-e, --escape-everything"
  47. Escape all the symbols in the output, even printable ASCII symbols.
  48. .It Sy "-j, --json"
  49. Make sure the output is valid JSON. Hexadecimal character escape sequences and the \\v or \\0 escape sequences will not be used. Setting this flag enables the
  50. .Ar -d | --double-quotes
  51. and
  52. .Ar -w | --wrap
  53. settings.
  54. .It Sy "-o, --object"
  55. Treat the input as a JavaScript object rather than a string. Accepted values are flat arrays containing only string values, and flat objects containing only string values.
  56. .It Sy "-p, --pretty"
  57. Pretty-print the output for objects, using whitespace to make it more readable. Setting this flag enables the
  58. .It Sy "-l, --lowercase-hex"
  59. Use lowercase for alphabetical hexadecimal digits in escape sequences.
  60. .Ar -o | --object
  61. setting.
  62. .It Sy "-v, --version"
  63. Print jsesc's version.
  64. .It Sy "-h, --help"
  65. Show the help screen.

  67. .Sh EXIT STATUS

  76. .It Li 1
  77. .Nm
  78. wasn't instructed to escape anything (for example, the
  79. .Ar --help
  80. flag was set); or, an error occurred.
  81. .El
  82. .Sh EXAMPLES
