# frozen-string-literal: true
# == Manipulates strings like the UNIX Bourne shell
# This module manipulates strings according to the word parsing rules
# of the UNIX Bourne shell.
# The shellwords() function was originally a port of shellwords.pl,
# but modified to conform to the Shell & Utilities volume of the IEEE
# Std 1003.1-2008, 2016 Edition [1].
# You can use Shellwords to parse a string into a Bourne shell friendly Array.
# argv = Shellwords.split('three blind "mice"')
# argv #=> ["three", "blind", "mice"]
# Once you've required Shellwords, you can use the #split alias
# argv = "see how they run".shellsplit
# argv #=> ["see", "how", "they", "run"]
# Be careful you don't leave a quote unmatched.
# argv = "they all ran after the farmer's wife".shellsplit
# #=> ArgumentError: Unmatched double quote: ...
# In this case, you might want to use Shellwords.escape, or its alias
# This method will escape the String for you to safely use with a Bourne shell.
# argv = Shellwords.escape("special's.txt")
# argv #=> "special\\'s.txt"
# Shellwords also comes with a core extension for Array, Array#shelljoin.
# You can use this method to create an escaped string out of an array of tokens
# separated by a space. In this example we used the literal shortcut for

# Splits a string into an array of tokens in the same way the UNIX
# argv = Shellwords.split('here are "two words"')
# argv #=> ["here", "are", "two words"]
# Note, however, that this is not a command line parser. Shell
# metacharacters except for the single and double quotes and
# backslash are not treated as such.
# argv = Shellwords.split('ruby my_prog.rb | less')
# argv #=> ["ruby", "my_prog.rb", "|", "less"]
# String#shellsplit is a shortcut for this function.
# argv = 'here are "two words"'.shellsplit
# argv #=> ["here", "are", "two words"]
