   7  * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
   8  * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
   9  * single quote pair.
  10  *
  11  * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
  12  * argument:
  13  *
  14  * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))

  16  * would be appropriate.  If the system() is going to call ssh to
  17  * run the command on the other side:
  18  *
  19  * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
  20  * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));

  22  * Note that the above examples leak memory!  Remember to free result from
  23  * sq_quote() in a real application.

  25  * sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
  26  * will return the number of characters that would have been written
  27  * excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
