Bash Escape String Functions

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#
# Regex Quote
#
#     requote [string]
#
# Escape the argument string to make it safe for injection into a regex.
#
# The result is a regular expression that matches the literal argument
# string.

    local char

    printf '%s' "$1" | while IFS= read -r -d '' -n1 char; do
        printf '[%s]' "$char"
    done
}

#
# Shell Quote
#
#     shquote [-e] [argument...]
#
# Shell-quote the arguments to make them safe for injection into bash code.
#
# The result is bash code that represents a series of words, where each
# word is a literal string argument.  By default, quoting happens using
# single-quotes.
#
#   -e      Use backslashes rather than single quotes.
#   -d      Use double-quotes rather than single quotes (does NOT disable expansions!).
#   -a      Normally, shquote doesn't quote arguments that don't need it.  This forces all arguments to be quoted.
