5 /* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
6 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', and the whole thing
7 * is enclosed in a single quote pair.
9 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
10 * argument:
12 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
14 * would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
15 * run the command on the other side:
17 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
18 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
20 * Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
21 * sq_quote() in a real application.
