   7/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
   8 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
   9 * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
  10 * single quote pair.
  11 *
  12 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
  13 * argument:
  14 *
  15 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
  16 *
  17 * would be appropriate.  If the system() is going to call ssh to
  18 * run the command on the other side:
  19 *
  20 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
  21 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
  22 *
  23 * Note that the above examples leak memory!  Remember to free result from
  24 * sq_quote() in a real application.
  25 *
  26 * sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
  27 * will return the number of characters that would have been written
  28 * excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
