This is roughly equivalent to using
var_export
in PHP. 😄 The end result of this simpleerl
one-liner is that it takes a single argument and returns a copy of it safely Erlang-quoted:Closes #199
I've verified that the result of
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=$'a\nb\nc'
becomes{ default_pass, <<"a\nb\nc">> }
, as expected (and RabbitMQ starts up successfully). I'm not sure whether newlines in a password actually makes any sense, but it might for other values, and this insulates us completely against needing to worry about specific characters or validation.
