[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 02/38] qmp-shell: learn to send commands with quoted arguments

[Marc-André Lureau]

Use shlex to split the CLI command, respecting quoted arguments, and
also comments. This allows to call for ex:

(QEMU) human-monitor-command command-line="screendump /dev/null"
{"execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": {"command-line": "screendump 
/dev/null"}}
