      • tokenize

        public static reactor.util.function.Tuple2<FlagSet,​List<String>> tokenize​(String flagPrefix,
                                                                                        String input)
        Splits the input into tokens. A token is delimited by double quotes or by whitespaces if there are none. A whitespace character can be escaped using a backslash to indicate that it should not delimit a token, and a double quote can be escaped the same way to indicate that it is intended to be a litteral character and not a token delimiter. Once tokens are extracted, they are separated into flags and arguments. A token starting with "--" followed by at least 1 character is treated as a flag, the rest are arguments.
        Parameters:
        flagPrefix - the prefix used to introduce command flags
        input - the input to tokenize
        Returns:
        a Tuple2 which first value is a FlagSet that contains the tokens that are flags, and second value is a List containing the tokens that are arguments
