Utilities for using bash from node.js.
API
bash.escape(parameter)
Escapes the given parameter
for bash. This is done by escaping all non
alpha-numeric / dash characters with a backslash.
Example:
> bash;'Hello\\ World'
bash.args(options, prefix, suffix)
Takes a list of options
and turns them into an arguments string common to
most *nix programs.
Objects are turned into arguments:
> bash;'--a=1 --b=2'
Values are escaped:
> bash;'--foo=hi\\ you'
Array values turn into multiple arguments:
> bash;'--a=1 --a=2'
null
/ true
values turn into flags:
> bash;'--a --b'
Alternate suffix / prefix settings:
> bash;'-a 1 -b 2'
options
can be an array as well:
> bash;'-a 1 -a 2 -b 3'
