For example, even this simple wrapper is unsafe:\n\n```shell\n#!/usr/bin/env bash\n\nset -euo pipefail\n\nfolderify $1\n```\n\n(There are at least two trivial issues that will cause this to fail or do something unexpected when passed the name of a file. These can turn into security bugs for more sensitive programs, but I wouldn't put it past someone to construct a security bug using `folderify`'s functionality.)\n\nA good first step would be to define and publish a proper API in Rust, adapted from the `clap` definitions.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/lgarron","@type":"Person","name":"lgarron"},"datePublished":"2025-06-21T01:11:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/97/folderify/issues/97"}
