7/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
8 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
9 * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
10 * single quote pair.
11 *
12 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
13 * argument:
14 *
15 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
16 *
17 * would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
18 * run the command on the other side:
19 *
20 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
Ingo Molnar148be2c2009-04-27 08:02:14 +020021 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_util/quote.host), sq_quote(cmd));
Ingo Molnar07800602009-04-20 15:00:56 +020022 *
23 * Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
24 * sq_quote() in a real application.
