It turns out that particular wheel is best resurrected from the fstab-decode.c file in an old initscripts source package. The encoding is nonstandard, and the above perl code would not handle it correctly.

It's pretty close.  It won't handle double backslash, and its use of xargs is incorrect.

If you prefer a version that you don't need a C compiler to use, here's a pure bash implementation:

#!/bin/sh

declare -a cmdline eol=$'\n'

for arg in "$@" do   arg="${arg//\011/    }"   arg="${arg//\012/$eol}"   arg="${arg//\040/ }"   arg="${arg//\134/\}"   arg="${arg//\/\}"   cmdline+=("$arg") done

"${cmdline[@]}"
