Heh that’s interesting. If I’m reading it right, ps only escapes newlines and unprintable characters, but separate arguments with spaces. So a command line like this cmd foo 'bar baz' would be reported as cmd foo bar baz, and there’s no way to unambigiously tell what is what.

I guess all we can do is to split with space, and hope for the best. Or maybe we forgo ps altogether and tap into POSIX C API directly. We already do that for Windows anyway.

While I’m sure it’s technically possible, I’ve never seen a shell named with a space on posix

It’s likely because it is technically unfeasible. A lot of things won’t work if you do that, e.g. shebang.
