## shell.array_literal
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
shell.array_literal(<a href="#shell.array_literal-iterable">iterable</a>)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Creates a string from a sequence that can be used as a shell array.
|
|
|
|
For example, `shell.array_literal(["a", "b", "c"])` would return the string
|
|
`("a" "b" "c")`, which can be used in a shell script wherever an array
|
|
literal is needed.
|
|
|
|
Note that all elements in the array are quoted (using `shell.quote`) for
|
|
safety, even if they do not need to be.
|
|
|
|
|
|

<td>

|
|
<p>
|
|
A sequence of elements. Elements that are not strings will be
|
|
converted to strings first, by calling `str()`.
