71 "It recognizes both single-quote and double-quote pairs. "
72 "A backslash escapes the next literal character (\\\" is \"); "
73 "there are no special escapes (\\n is just n)."
75 "The WINDOWS_COMMAND mode parses a windows command-line using the "
76 "same syntax the runtime library uses to construct argv at startup. "
77 "It separates arguments by whitespace that is not double-quoted. "
78 "Backslashes are literal unless they precede double-quotes. "
