--single-class - decompile a single class
--output-format - can be 'java' or 'json', default: java
-e, --export-gradle - save as android gradle project
-j, --threads-count - processing threads count, default: 4
--show-bad-code - show inconsistent code (incorrectly decompiled)
--no-imports - disable use of imports, always write entire package name
--no-debug-info - disable debug info
--no-inline-anonymous - disable anonymous classes inline
--no-replace-consts - don't replace constant value with matching constant field
--escape-unicode - escape non latin characters in strings (with \u)
--respect-bytecode-access-modifiers - don't change original access modifiers
--deobf - activate deobfuscation
--deobf-min - min length of name, renamed if shorter, default: 3
--deobf-max - max length of name, renamed if longer, default: 64
--deobf-rewrite-cfg - force to save deobfuscation map
--deobf-use-sourcename - use source file name as class name alias
--rename-flags - what to rename, comma-separated, 'case' for system case sensitivity, 'valid' for java identifiers, 'printable' characters, 'none' or 'all' (default)
--fs-case-sensitive - treat filesystem as case sensitive, false by default
--cfg - save methods control flow graph to dot file
--raw-cfg - save methods control flow graph (use raw instructions)
-f, --fallback - make simple dump (using goto instead of 'if', 'for', etc)
