The shell package implements basic shell command-line splitting.

Overview ¶
Package shell supports splitting and joining of shell command strings.
The Split function divides a string into whitespace-separated fields, respecting single and double quotation marks as defined by the Shell Command Language section of IEEE Std 1003.1 2013. The Quote function quotes characters that would otherwise be subject to shell evaluation, and the Join function concatenates quoted strings with spaces between them.
The relationship between Split and Join is that given
fields, ok := Split(Join(ss))
the following relationship will hold:
fields == ss && ok

Functions ¶
func Join ¶
Join quotes each element of ss with Quote and concatenates the resulting strings separated by spaces.
func Quote ¶
Quote returns a copy of s in which shell metacharacters are quoted to protect them from evaluation.
Types ¶
type Scanner ¶
type Scanner struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Scanner partitions input from a reader into tokens divided on space, tab, and newline characters. Single and double quotation marks are handled as described in http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_02.
Example ¶
const input = `a "free range" exploration of soi\ disant novelties`
s := NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
sum, count := 0, 0
for s.Next() {
count++
sum += len(s.Text())
}
fmt.Println(len(input), count, sum, s.Complete(), s.Err())
Output: 51 6 43 true EOF
func NewScanner ¶
NewScanner returns a Scanner that reads input from r.
func (*Scanner) Complete ¶
Complete reports whether the current token is complete, meaning that it is unquoted or its quotes were balanced.
func (*Scanner) Each ¶
Each calls f for each token in the scanner until the input is exhausted, f returns false, or an error occurs.
Example ¶
const input = `a\ b 'c d' "e f's g" stop "go directly to jail"`
if err := NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input)).Each(func(tok string) bool {
fmt.Println(tok)
return tok != "stop"
}); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Output: a b c d e f's g stop
func (*Scanner) Next ¶
Next advances the scanner and reports whether there are any further tokens to be consumed.
func (*Scanner) Rest ¶
Rest returns an io.Reader for the remainder of the unconsumed input in s. After calling this method, Next will always return false. The remainder does not include the text of the current token at the time Rest is called.
Example ¶
const input = `things 'and stuff' %end% all the remaining stuff`
s := NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
for s.Next() {
if s.Text() == "%end%" {
fmt.Print("found marker; ")
break
}
}
rest, err := io.ReadAll(s.Rest())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(rest))
Output: found marker; all the remaining stuff
func (*Scanner) Split ¶
Split returns the remaining tokens in s, not including the current token if there is one. Any tokens already consumed are still returned, even if there is an error.
Example ¶
const input = `cmd -flag=t -- foo bar baz`
s := NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
for s.Next() {
if s.Text() == "--" {
fmt.Println("** Args:", strings.Join(s.Split(), ", "))
} else {
fmt.Println(s.Text())
}
}
Output: cmd -flag=t ** Args: foo, bar, baz
