JS_OF_OCAML(1)

💖 JS_OF_OCAML 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Js_of_ocaml Manual — section 1 of the manual, the one and only, and yes we're doing this together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

js_of_ocaml — the Js_of_ocaml linker. that's her. that's the whole name. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

js_of_ocaml [OPTION]… [JS_FILES]…

look at that. options first, then a bunch of JavaScript files. simple. clean. a vibe 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, jsoo_link is a JavaScript linker, periodt. what does a linker do, you ask? she takes a whole pile of JavaScript files and concatenates them into one, and the whole time she's keeping the sourcemap information intact — which is the part that actually matters, because losing your sourcemaps is giving "lost in the sauce" and we do NOT do that here 😭

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• JS_FILES — the JavaScript files you want to link together. that's it. that's the job. hand her your files and she links 'em 🔗

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help[=FMT] (default=auto) — show this very help, in whatever format FMT you want. FMT has to be one of auto, pager, groff, or plain. and here's the cute part: with auto, the format ends up being pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or just… not set at all. she's reading your environment, she's being considerate 💖
• -o FILE — set the output file name to FILE. this is where the linked masterpiece goes 🎀
• --resolve-sourcemap-url=VAL (absent=false) — resolve the source map url. yep. that's the whole thing. VAL goes in, resolving happens ✨
• --source-map-inline — inline the sourcemap directly inside the generated JavaScript. no separate file, she's keeping it all in one place, very "I contain multitudes" 🦋
• --source-map-root=VAL — root dir for the source map. you're telling her where home base is 🌸
• --sourcemap, --source-map — generate a source map. two names, same girl, she answers to both 💅
• --version — show version information. she'll tell you exactly which era of herself you're dealing with ⭐
