This series was motivated by the real-world problem that a user couldn't
figure out how to write a blacklist entry for a device called '1.8" SSD'.
Fixing this for good turned out to be a little tricky, therefore I also
added a test suite.

Changes since v1:
 - fixed a problem with parsing the command strings from cli handlers.

Martin Wilck (5):
  tests: add unit tests for config file parser
  libmultipath: config parser: don't strip whitepace between quotes
  libmultipath: config parser: Allow '"' in strings
  libmultipath: config parser: fix corner case for double quotes
  multipath.conf(5): improve syntax documentation
