Function std.process.escapeShellCommand

Escapes an argv-style argument array to be used with spawnShell, pipeShell or executeShell. 

string url = "http://dlang.org/";
executeShell(escapeShellCommand("wget", url, "-O", "dlang-index.html"));

Concatenate multiple escapeShellCommand and escapeShellFileName results to use shell redirection or piping operators.

    escapeShellFileName("D download links.txt"));
