I've got a program which accepts an optional env variable listing a single
or multiple directory for the app to use. I've done a bit of a search and
see both a comma and semicolon being used/suggested as a path separator.
Any consensus on which is better?
MYPATHS=foo,bar,woof
or
MYPATHS=foo;bar;woof
And, certainly not
MYPATHS=foo,bar;woof
I did think I could be clever and check to see if the string contained a ,
or ; and spit it accordingly, but then what if the reason (hopefully,
pretty damned unlikely!) that a , or ; is being used as part of a path name?
