On 4 January 2024 18:09:57 GMT, "Sam B=2E" <me@rmz=2Eio> wr= ote:
Hello,

I'm looking for a wa=
y to disable most shell expansion for the arguments to a script or function=
 and treat everything up to a newline char as verbatim text, i=2Ee=2E as if=
 quoted=2E

For example, given a function/script "todo", I'd like
=

    todo Text inc=2E $var, *glob?, events!, <redirs, >(sub) &=
 more

to behave more like it was quoted:

    todo 'Text inc=
=2E $var, *glob?, events!, <redirs, >(sub) & more'

I know =
of noglob to disable glob chars, and can have a look at histchars to see if=
 events can be disabled=2E But I'm not sure if any of the other expansion c=
an possibly disabled=2E

Mostly I'm interested joting down some plain=
 text which could include '?!&' and have "todo" receive it all without =
the shell having done some magic beforehand=2E

Any ideas?
