DUK(1)

🌸 DUK(1) — the duk girlies' manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the duk page. duk is duktape, the embeddable Javascript engine — yes, the whole thing, no cap. You're in the User Commands section, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

duk — it's duktape, an embeddable Javascript engine. that's it, that's the name, periodt. 👑

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

duk [options] [<filenames>]

like… you give her options, you give her filenames, she runs. simple as. 🌈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

here's the whole menu of flags, babes. every single one. I'm not skipping a thing, that's not the vibe. ✨

• -i — enter interactive mode after executing argument file(s) / eval code
• -e CODE — evaluate code
• -c FILE — compile into bytecode (use with only one file argument)
• --run-stdin — treat stdin like a file, i.e. compile full input (not line by line)
• --verbose — verbose messages to stderr
• --restrict-memory — use lower memory limit (used by test runner)
• --alloc-default — use Duktape default allocator
• --recreate-heap — recreate heap after every file
• --no-heap-destroy — force GC, but don't destroy heap at end (leak testing)

lowkey important: if <filename> is omitted, interactive mode is started automatically. so if you just type duk and hit enter, she's talking back to you. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🫶 okay and now the exact same list again, yes really 🫶

not me pasting it twice — bestie, the page is like this. she lists it all a second time and honestly? iconic. we keep it. we respect it. no notes. 😭💖

• -i — enter interactive mode after executing argument file(s) / eval code
• -e CODE — evaluate code
• -c FILE — compile into bytecode (use with only one file argument)
• --run-stdin — treat stdin like a file, i.e. compile full input (not line by line)
• --verbose — verbose messages to stderr
• --restrict-memory — use lower memory limit (used by test runner)
• --alloc-default — use Duktape default allocator
• --recreate-heap — recreate heap after every file
• --no-heap-destroy — force GC, but don't destroy heap at end (leak testing)

and yeah, one more time for the girls in the back: if <filename> is omitted, interactive mode is started automatically. 💖

that's the whole page, angel. go forth and duk. 🦋✨

signing off: this came from duk, and the date on it is June 2016 💜 — so yes, she's been serving since 2016 and she still ate. bye bestie, ily, drink water. 🍓👑
