Usage

import { commandJoin } from "command-join"

commandJoin(arg: string | string[]): string

Escapes each command-line argument and joins them into a string that can then be executed, e.g. via child_process.exec.

If a string is passed, an array containing the string will instead be processed.

Example

const command = commandJoin(['a', "b\\", "'c"])
command
// output on Windows: a "b\\" 'c
// output on Linux: a 'b\' \'c

See the tests for more convoluted examples.
