CommandlineConverter class

Command-line string parsing utilities.

This module provides functionality to parse command-line strings into individual argument components, handling quotes and escaping properly. Converts a command-line string into a list of individual arguments.

This converter handles quoted arguments and properly splits command lines while respecting shell quoting rules.

Supports:

• Single quotes ('): Preserves content literally
• Double quotes ("): Preserves content literally
• Space separation: Splits arguments on unquoted spaces
• Empty arguments: Handles quoted empty strings

Example:

final converter = CommandlineConverter();

// Simple command
final args1 = converter.convert('dart --version');
// Result: ['dart', '--version']

// Command with quoted arguments
final args2 = converter.convert('echo "hello world" \'single quoted\'');
// Result: ['echo', 'hello world', 'single quoted']

// Complex command with parameters
final args3 = converter.convert('flutter build apk --target-platform android-arm64');
// Result: ['flutter', 'build', 'apk', '--target-platform', 'android-arm64']
