105 Instead it simply concatenates the arguments, separated by ' ', and calls
106 CreateProcess(). We must quote the arguments since Windows CreateProcess()
107 interprets characters like ' ', '\t', '\\', '"' (but not '<' and '>') in a
109 - Space and tab are interpreted as delimiters. They are not treated as
110 delimiters if they are surrounded by double quotes: "...".
111 - Unescaped double quotes are removed from the input. Their only effect is
112 that within double quotes, space and tab are treated like normal
114 - Backslashes not followed by double quotes are not special.
115 - But 2*n+1 backslashes followed by a double quote become
116 n backslashes followed by a double quote (n >= 0):
120 - '*', '?' characters may get expanded through wildcard expansion in the
121 callee: By default, in the callee, the initialization code before main()
122 takes the result of GetCommandLine(), wildcard-expands it, and passes it
123 to main(). The exceptions to this rule are:
124 - programs that inspect GetCommandLine() and ignore argv,
125 - mingw programs that have a global variable 'int _CRT_glob = 0;',
126 - Cygwin programs, when invoked from a Cygwin program.
