- separate_arguments
- ------------------
- Parse space-separated arguments into a semicolon-separated list.
- ::
- separate_arguments(<var> <NATIVE|UNIX|WINDOWS>_COMMAND "<args>")
- Parses a UNIX- or Windows-style command-line string "<args>" and
- stores a semicolon-separated list of the arguments in ``<var>``. The
- entire command line must be given in one "<args>" argument.
- The ``UNIX_COMMAND`` mode separates arguments by unquoted whitespace. It
- recognizes both single-quote and double-quote pairs. A backslash
- escapes the next literal character (``\"`` is ``"``); there are no special
- escapes (``\n`` is just ``n``).
- The ``WINDOWS_COMMAND`` mode parses a Windows command-line using the same
- syntax the runtime library uses to construct argv at startup. It
- separates arguments by whitespace that is not double-quoted.
- Backslashes are literal unless they precede double-quotes. See the
- MSDN article `Parsing C Command-Line Arguments`_ for details.
- The ``NATIVE_COMMAND`` mode parses a Windows command-line if the host
- system is Windows, and a UNIX command-line otherwise.

- ::
- separate_arguments(<var>)
- Convert the value of ``<var>`` to a semi-colon separated list. All
- spaces are replaced with ';'. This helps with generating command
- lines.
