Mini Shell

# 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].
#
# === Usage
#
# You can use Shellwords to parse a string into a Bourne shell friendly Array.
#
#   require 'shellwords'
#
#   argv = Shellwords.split('three blind "mice"')
#   argv #=> ["three", "blind", "mice"]
#
# Once you've required Shellwords, you can use the #split alias
# String#shellsplit.
#
#   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
# String#shellescape.
#
# 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"
#   system("cat " + argv)
#
# Shellwords also comes with a core extension for Array, Array#shelljoin.
#
#   argv = %w{ls -lta lib}
#   system(argv.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
# Array.new.

  # Splits a string into an array of tokens in the same way the UNIX
  # Bourne shell does.
  #

  #   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.
