.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
escapes strings for use in JavaScript string literals while generating the shortest possible valid ASCII-only output.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -ohang -offset
.It Sy "-s, --single-quotes"
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.
.It Sy "-d, --double-quotes"
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.
.It Sy "-w, --wrap"
Make sure the output is a valid JavaScript string literal wrapped in quotes. The type of quotes can be specified using the
.Ar -s | --single-quotes
or
.Ar -d | --double-quotes
settings.
.It Sy "-6, --es6"
Escape any astral Unicode symbols using ECMAScript 6 Unicode code point escape sequences.
.It Sy "-e, --escape-everything"
Escape all the symbols in the output, even printable ASCII symbols.
.It Sy "-j, --json"
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
.Ar -d | --double-quotes
and
.Ar -w | --wrap
settings.
.It Sy "-o, --object"
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.
.It Sy "-p, --pretty"
Pretty-print the output for objects, using whitespace to make it more readable. Setting this flag enables the
.It Sy "-l, --lowercase-hex"
Use lowercase for alphabetical hexadecimal digits in escape sequences.
.Ar -o | --object
setting.
.It Sy "-v, --version"
Print jsesc's version.
.It Sy "-h, --help"
Show the help screen.
.El

.It Li 1

.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
