CLI

A CLI is not currently planned. If you want an easy way to invoke this module from a shell script, try enveval2401-pmb.

This module ESM-exports one function that holds some methods:

Stringify x,
remove all U+0000 null characters, because all too often, some C program in the pipeline will screw it up even if properly quoted,
and in case it contains special characters, quote it.

Return a customized quoting function. opt is an optional options object that supports these keys:

empty: How to represent the empty string. Default: A pair of single quotes.
gratuitous: What string to put on both sides of a non-empty input that doesn't need to be quoted.

A quoting function that adds gratuitous single quotes (cf. .cfg).
