The +entire command line must be given in one "<args>" argument. + +The UNIX_COMMAND mode separates arguments by unquoted whitespace. It +recognizes both single-quote and double-quote pairs. A backslash +escapes the next literal character (\" is "); there are no special +escapes (\n is just n). + +The WINDOWS_COMMAND mode parses a windows command-line using the same +syntax the runtime library uses to construct argv at startup. It +separates arguments by whitespace that is not double-quoted. +Backslashes are literal unless they precede double-quotes. See the +MSDN article "Parsing C Command-Line Arguments" for details. + +:: + + separate_arguments(VARIABLE) + +Convert the value of VARIABLE to a semi-colon separated list. All +spaces are replaced with ';'. This helps with generating command +lines. |
