shellwords

Crate shellwords provides utilities for parsing strings as they would be interpreted by the UNIX Bourne shell.

Examples

Split a string into a vector of words in the same way the UNIX Bourne shell does:

assert_eq!(split("here are \"two words\"").unwrap(), ["here", "are", "two words"]);
