[PATCH 04/26] parse_arg(): Really test that argument is properly terminated

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a docstring to the function incorporating the comments that were
formerly within the function plus some added information.  Test that
the argument is properly terminated by either whitespace or a NUL
character, even if it is quoted, to be consistent with the non-quoted
case.  Adjust the tests to expect the new error message.
