## shell.array_literal
<pre>
shell.array_literal(<a href="#shell.array_literal-iterable">iterable</a>)
</pre>
Creates a string from a sequence that can be used as a shell array.
For example, `shell.array_literal(["a", "b", "c"])` would return the string
`("a" "b" "c")`, which can be used in a shell script wherever an array
literal is needed.
Note that all elements in the array are quoted (using `shell.quote`) for
safety, even if they do not need to be.
### Parameters
<table class="params-table">
<colgroup>
<col class="col-param" />
<col class="col-description" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr id="shell.array_literal-iterable">
<td><code>iterable</code></td>
<td>
required.
<p>
A sequence of elements. Elements that are not strings will be
converted to strings first, by calling `str()`.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
## shell.quote
<pre>
shell.quote(<a href="#shell.quote-s">s</a>)
</pre>
Quotes the given string for use in a shell command.
This function quotes the given string (in case it contains spaces or other
shell metacharacters.)
### Parameters
<table class="params-table">
<colgroup>
<col class="col-param" />
<col class="col-description" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr id="shell.quote-s">
<td><code>s</code></td>
<td>
required.
<p>
The string to quote.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
