escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional
command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name
provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line
will contain multiple tokens instead of one.");
