A tiny CLI used for quoting input lines
Consider the directory:
$ find .
.
./c
./a b
Here, xargs
alone will fail if we do: find . -type f | xargs cat
with:
This file is named: c
cat: ./a: No such file or directory
cat: b: No such file or directory
This is because the file 'a b' is not quoted!
Instead we can do: find . -type f | quote | xargs cat
and we will get:
This file is named: c
This file is named: a b
