Function shell_quote::sh::escape

pub fn escape<T: Into<OsString>>(s: T) -> Vec<u8>

Escape a string of bytes into a new Vec<u8>.

This will return one of the following:

• The string as-is, if no escaping is necessary.
• A quoted string containing ANSI-C-like escapes, like 'foo\nbar'.

See escape_into for a variant that extends an existing Vec instead of allocating a new one.

The input argument is Into<OsString>, so you can pass in regular Rust strings, PathBuf, and so on. For a regular Rust string it will be quoted byte for byte.

Examples

assert_eq!(sh::escape("foobar"), b"foobar");
assert_eq!(sh::escape("foo bar"), b"'foo bar'");
