PACKAGE

package shellquote import "github.com/kballard/go-shellquote"

Shellquote provides utilities for joining/splitting strings using sh's
word-splitting rules.

VARIABLES

var ( UnterminatedSingleQuoteError = errors.New("Unterminated single-quoted string") UnterminatedDoubleQuoteError = errors.New("Unterminated double-quoted string") UnterminatedEscapeError = errors.New("Unterminated backslash-escape") )

FUNCTIONS

func Join(args ...string) string Join quotes each argument and joins them with a space. If passed to /bin/sh, the resulting string will be split back into the original arguments.

func Split(input string) (words []string, err error) Split splits a string according to /bin/sh's word-splitting rules. It supports backslash-escapes, single-quotes, and double-quotes. Notably it does not support the $'' style of quoting. It also doesn't attempt to perform any other sort of expansion, including brace expansion, shell expansion, or pathname expansion.

If the given input has an unterminated quoted string or ends in a
backslash-escape, one of UnterminatedSingleQuoteError,
UnterminatedDoubleQuoteError, or UnterminatedEscapeError is returned.
