fromfile parser does not support escaping prefix character

Open alokpr opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

I did not find any documentation on how to escape the prefix character if needed. And none of my attempts were successful:

  • myprog @@escaped-arg
  • myprog '@escaped-arg'

In both of these cases, argfile attempts to read the non-existent "[@]escaped-arg" file.

iirc when I looked into this, I did not see an implementation that supported escaping, e.g. python's
