                           CmdStringHolder

This is a special class used to hold strings generated by scons_subst() and scons_subst_list(). It defines a special method escape(). When passed a function with an escape algorithm for a particular platform, it will return the contained string with the proper escape sequences inserted.

source code

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

escape(self, escape_func, quote_func=<function quote_spaces at 0xb6af53e4>)

source code

Escape the string with the supplied function. The function is expected to take an arbitrary string, then return it with all special characters escaped and ready for passing to the command interpreter.

After calling this function, the next call to str() will return the escaped string.
