"Quote characters special to the shell in PATTERN, leave wildcards alone.
PATTERN is assumed to represent a file-name wildcard suitable for the
underlying filesystem. For Unix and GNU/Linux, the characters from the
set [ \\t\\n;<>&|()'\"#$] are quoted with a backslash; for DOS/Windows, all
underlying filesystem. For Unix and GNU/Linux, each character from the
set [ \\t\\n;<>&|()'\"#$] is quoted with a backslash; for DOS/Windows, all
the parts of the pattern which don't include wildcard characters are
quoted with double quotes.
Existing quote characters in PATTERN are left alone, so you can pass
PATTERN that already quotes some of the special characters."
This function leaves alone existing quote characters (\\ on Unix and \"
on Windows), so PATTERN can use them to quote wildcard characters that
need to be passed verbatim to shell commands."
