32 Note that spawn() does not by itself call the command interpreter
33 (getenv ("COMSPEC") != NULL ? getenv ("COMSPEC") :
34 ({ OSVERSIONINFO v; v.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
35 GetVersionEx(&v);
36 v.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT;
37 }) ? "cmd.exe" : "command.com").
38 Instead it simply concatenates the arguments, separated by ' ', and calls
39 CreateProcess(). We must quote the arguments since Windows CreateProcess()
40 interprets characters like ' ', '\t', '\\', '"' (but not '<' and '>') in a
41 special way:
42 - Space and tab are interpreted as delimiters. They are not treated as
43 delimiters if they are surrounded by double quotes: "...".
44 - Unescaped double quotes are removed from the input. Their only effect is
45 that within double quotes, space and tab are treated like normal
46 characters.
47 - Backslashes not followed by double quotes are not special.
48 - But 2*n+1 backslashes followed by a double quote become
49 n backslashes followed by a double quote (n >= 0):
50 \" -> "
51 \\\" -> \"
52 \\\\\" -> \\"
53 - '*', '?' characters may get expanded through wildcard expansion in the
54 callee: By default, in the callee, the initialization code before main()
55 takes the result of GetCommandLine(), wildcard-expands it, and passes it
56 to main(). The exceptions to this rule are:
57 - programs that inspect GetCommandLine() and ignore argv,
58 - mingw programs that have a global variable 'int _CRT_glob = 0;',
59 - Cygwin programs, when invoked from a Cygwin program.
