This module has various helper functions for quoting and escaping an array of strings as expected by the "exec" calls on a Unix system into single strings that should be able to pass through shells and other intermediaries to produce the same result.
There is no single common quoting format that works for all shells and other layers, so this module makes no attempt to abstract away these differences. Instead, it provides a family of functions with the same signature so that the caller may select -- possibly dynamically -- a suitable quoting function to use.
