var str = 'foo bar baz';
var out = kebabcase( str );
// returns 'foo-bar-baz'
str = 'foo_baz';
out = kebabcase( str );
// returns 'foo-baz'
str = 'foo-bar-baz!';
out = kebabcase( str );
// returns 'foo-bar-baz'
str = 'beep boop!';
out = kebabcase( str );
// returns 'beep-boop'

## CLI
### Usage
```text
Usage: kebabcase [options] []
Options:
-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
--split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.
```
### Notes
- If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.
```bash
# Not escaped...
$ echo -n $'beEp booP\nisMobile' | kebabcase --split /\r?\n/
# Escaped...
$ echo -n $'beEp booP\nisMobile' | kebabcase --split /\\r?\\n/
```
- The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.
### Examples
```bash
$ kebabcase 'hello world!'
hello-world
```
To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],
```bash
$ echo -n 'beEp booP' | kebabcase
beep-boop
```
By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option.
```bash
$ echo -n 'beep_boop\tisMobile' | kebabcase --split '\t'
beep-boop
is-mobile
```
