Shell-escape a string


From: Mark A. Hershberger

Is there a piece of standard code or a library that I can use to escape
a string so it is safe to pass to bash?

Specifically, I have submitted this bit[1] to add deletion of duplicate
messages to a guile script included with mu (maildir utils) and now
we're looking at how to escape the file names to keep this maliciously
inserted maildir files from causing problems.

Any hints?
