30 * A class to parse and extract information about shell commands.
32 * ShellCommand can be used to:
35 * <li>Take a command-line (eg "/bin/sh -c /path/to/my/script") and split it
36 * into its component parts (eg. the command "/bin/sh" and the arguments
37 * "-c","/path/to/my/script")
39 * <li>Take a command and a list of arguments and combine them to
40 * form a complete command line.
42 * <li>Determine whether the binary specified by a command exists in the
45 * <li>Determine whether a command-line specifies the execution of
46 * another command as the root user using su/sudo etc.
54 * Constructs a ShellCommand from a command line.
56 * @param fullCommand The command line to parse.
