util

The util module group provides small helper APIs that are commonly used by JSH applications and built-in commands.

The current module group includes:

• util/parseArgs for command-line style argument parsing
• util/splitFields for shell-like field splitting with quote handling

You can load them either through the root module or through each submodule directly.

const { parseArgs, splitFields } = require('util');

const parseArgsDirect = require('util/parseArgs');
const splitFieldsDirect = require('util/splitFields');

Use parseArgs when you need structured option parsing, named positionals, sub-command routing, or help text generation. Use splitFields when you need to split a command-like string by whitespace while preserving quoted substrings.
