Shellwords
==========

[](#shellwords)

Shellwords splits argument strings into an array of individual arguments, much like the Bourne Shell does it. It's a crappy port of the Ruby Standard Library's `Shellwords.rb`.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install via composer:

```
{
    "require": {
        "chh/shellwords": "*"
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To split a string according to the Bourne Shell's rules use the static `split` method.
