### Public Instance Methods

shellescape => string click to toggle source

Escapes `str` so that it can be safely used in a Bourne shell command line.

See Shellwords.shellescape for details.

                   # File shellwords.rb, line 206
    def shellescape
      Shellwords.escape(self)
    end

shellsplit => array click to toggle source

Splits `str` into an array of tokens in the same way the UNIX Bourne shell does.

See Shellwords.shellsplit for details.

                   # File shellwords.rb, line 195
    def shellsplit
      Shellwords.split(self)
    end
