/**
 * Shell argument parsing utilities.
 *
 * Provides functions to split shell command strings into argument arrays,
 * handling quotes and escape sequences.

 * @module utils/shellArgv

/**
 * Split a shell command string into an array of arguments.
 *
 * Handles:
 * - Single quotes (literal strings)
 * - Double quotes (literal strings)
 * - Backslash escapes (outside quotes)
 * - Whitespace as argument separator
 *
 * @param raw - The raw command string
 * @returns Array of arguments, or null if string has unclosed quotes/escapes
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * splitShellArgs('git commit -m "fix bug"')
 * // => ['git', 'commit', '-m', 'fix bug']
 *
 * splitShellArgs("echo 'hello world'")
 * // => ['echo', 'hello world']
 *
 * splitShellArgs('path\\ with\\ spaces')
 * // => ['path with spaces']
 *
 * splitShellArgs('"unclosed')
 * // => null (unclosed quote)
 * ```
