Currently my use case was to add Windows GPG to extraBin; however, the path is "/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/GnuPG/bin/gpg.exe" which contains spaces and parentheses that need to be escaped.
Without any modification, the string goes as is in the init script, and the cp/ln commands are just broken.
I temporarily fixed it by escaping the chars in the nix string "/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/GnuPG/bin/gpg.exe".
However, it would, I think, be way better to escape the params at the script generation.
Summarry :
escapeShellArgto both source and destination arguments incpandlncommands for entries inconfig.wsl.extraBinandcfg.extraBin, ensuring safer shell command execution.
