8 /* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
9 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
10 * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
11 * single quote pair.
13 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
14 * argument:
16 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
18 * would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
19 * run the command on the other side:
21 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
22 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
24 * Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
25 * sq_quote() in a real application.
27 * sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
28 * will return the number of characters that would have been written
29 * excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
31 * sq_quotef() quotes the entire formatted string as a single result.

40 * These match their non-pretty variants, except that they avoid
41 * quoting when there are no exotic characters. These should only be used for
42 * human-readable output, as sq_dequote() is not smart enough to dequote it.

50 * NULL if the input does not look like what sq_quote would have
51 * produced (the full string must be a single quoted item).
53 char *sq_dequote(char *);
56 * Like sq_dequote(), but dequote a single item, and leave "next" pointing to
57 * the next character. E.g., in the string:
59 * 'one' 'two' 'three'
61 * after the first call, the return value would be the unquoted string "one",
62 * with "next" pointing to the space between "one" and "two"). The caller is
63 * responsible for advancing the pointer to the start of the next item before
64 * calling sq_dequote_step() again.
66 char *sq_dequote_step(char *src, char **next);
69 * Same as the above, but can be used to unwrap many arguments in the
70 * same string separated by space. Like sq_quote, it works in place,
71 * modifying arg and appending pointers into it to argv.
73 int sq_dequote_to_argv(char *arg, const char ***argv, int *nr, int *alloc);
76 * Same as above, but store the unquoted strings in a strvec. We will
77 * still modify arg in place, but unlike sq_dequote_to_argv, the strvec
78 * will duplicate and take ownership of the strings.
