Automatically convert an attribute set to command-line options.
This helps protect against malformed command lines and also to reduce
boilerplate related to command-line construction for simple use cases.
`toGNUCommandLine` returns a list of nix strings.
`toGNUCommandLineShell` returns an escaped shell string.
# Inputs
`options`
: 1\. Function argument
`attrs`
: 2\. Function argument
# Examples
:::{.example}
## `lib.cli.toGNUCommandLineShell` usage example
```nix
cli.toGNUCommandLine {} {
data = builtins.toJSON { id = 0; };
X = "PUT";
retry = 3;
retry-delay = null;
url = [ "https://example.com/foo" "https://example.com/bar" ];
silent = false;
verbose = true;
}
=> [
"-X" "PUT"
"--data" "{\"id\":0}"
"--retry" "3"
"--url" "https://example.com/foo"
"--url" "https://example.com/bar"
"--verbose"
]
cli.toGNUCommandLineShell {} {
data = builtins.toJSON { id = 0; };
X = "PUT";
retry = 3;
retry-delay = null;
url = [ "https://example.com/foo" "https://example.com/bar" ];
silent = false;
verbose = true;
}
=> "'-X' 'PUT' '--data' '{\"id\":0}' '--retry' '3' '--url' 'https://example.com/foo' '--url' 'https://example.com/bar' '--verbose'";
