Ok. It is an option present in other implementations that permits to
have multiple command line options in a shebang script. Here's what is
said in the linux manpage:
-S, --split-string=S
process and split S into separate arguments; used to pass
multiple arguments on shebang lines
For example, one could make the following silly script:
#!/usr/bin/env -S cat -b -e
Hello World
The current env will fail because it will try to execvp the complete
string "cat -b -e":
env: cat -b -e: No such file or directory
I wanted to know if this would fly because here I choose to split the
string beforehand when argv[1] contain any separators. I kept the "-S"
for compatibility with other implementations but, in fact, it does
nothing.
