output
[ 'beep', '--boop=/home/robot' ]
js

var xs = parse('beep ^--boop="$PWD"', { PWD: '/home/robot' }, { escape: '^' });
console.dir(xs);
output
[ 'beep --boop=/home/robot' ]
js
var parse = require('shell-quote/parse');
var xs = parse('beep || boop > /byte');
console.dir(xs);
output:
[ 'beep', { op: '||' }, 'boop', { op: '>' }, '/byte' ]
js
var parse = require('shell-quote/parse');
var xs = parse('beep > boop # > kaboom');

Return a quoted string for the array args suitable for using in shell
commands.
Return an array of arguments from the quoted string cmd.
Interpolate embedded bash-style $VARNAME and ${VARNAME} variables with
the env object which like bash will replace undefined variables with "".
env is usually an object but it can also be a function to perform lookups.
When env(key) returns a string, its result will be output just like env[key]
would. When env(key) returns an object, it will be inserted into the result
array like the operator objects.
When a bash operator is encountered, the element in the array with be an object
with an "op" key set to the operator string. For example:
'beep || boop > /byte'
parses as:
[ 'beep', { op: '||' }, 'boop', { op: '>' }, '/byte' ]
