@ -42,11 +42,13 @@ The following subcommands are available.
`string escape` escapes each STRING in one of three ways. The first is `--style=script`. This is the default. It alters the string such that it can be passed back to `eval` to produce the original argument again. By default, all special characters are escaped, and quotes are used to simplify the output when possible. If `-n` or `--no-quoted` is given, the simplifying quoted format is not used. Exit status: 0 if at least one string was escaped, or 1 otherwise.
The second is `--style=var` which ensures the string can be used as a variable name by hex encoding any non-alphanumeric characters. The string is first converted to UTF-8 before being encoded.
`--style=var` ensures the string can be used as a variable name by hex encoding any non-alphanumeric characters. The string is first converted to UTF-8 before being encoded.
The third is `--style=url` which ensures the string can be used as a URL by hex encoding any character which is not legal in a URL. The string is first converted to UTF-8 before being encoded.
`--style=url` ensures the string can be used as a URL by hex encoding any character which is not legal in a URL. The string is first converted to UTF-8 before being encoded.
`string unescape` performs the inverse of the `string escape` command. If the string to be unescaped is not properly formatted it is ignored. For example, doing `string unescape --style=var (string escape --style=var $str)` will return the original string.
`--style=pcre2` escapes an input string for literal matching within a regex expression. The string is first converted to UTF-8 before being encoded.
`string unescape` performs the inverse of the `string escape` command. If the string to be unescaped is not properly formatted it is ignored. For example, doing `string unescape --style=var (string escape --style=var $str)` will return the original string. There is no support for unescaping pcre2.
