  Quote s, so it can be safely passed to POSIX shell.

• func quoteShell(s: string): string

• proc getLastModificationTime(file: string): int64

  Returns the file's last modification time as nanoseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 UTC). Raises OSError if the file does not exist or cannot be stat'ed.

• proc exitStatusLikeShell(status: int32): int32

  Converts exit code from c_system into a shell exit code.

• proc findExe(exe: string): string

  Searches for exe in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable (and, on POSIX, in the current directory if exe contains a path separator). Returns "" if the exe cannot be found.

• proc execShellCmd(command: string): int64

  Executes a shell command:idx:.

  Command has the form 'program args' where args are the command line arguments given to program. The proc returns the error code of the shell when it has finished (zero if there is no error). The proc does not return until the process has finished.

  To execute a program without having a shell involved, use osproc.execProcess proc.

  Examples: Nim discard execShellCmd("ls -la")
