The s6-unquote program
s6-unquote unquotes a quoted string and writes it to stdout.
Interface
s6-unquote [ -n ] [ -d delim ] string
- s6-unquote unquotes string, which must follow the
syntax of s6-quote's output strings
- It prints various warning or error messages to stderr if it
cannot unquote string properly
- If successful, it prints the result to stdout and exits 0
Options
- -n : do not print a trailing newline.
- -d delim : a list of characters that
will be considered as delimitors (to start and end the quoted string).
By default, only the double quote is such a character. If delim
is the empty string, s6-unquote interprets string as
non-delimited, only escaped (i.e. the result of some
s6-quote -u operation).
