The delimiter string can be specified as an unquoted or quoted argument on the
command line. Quoting can be done with either single quote ('), double quote ("), or backtick (`)
characters. To include a quote within a quoted string, either quote the string with a different quote

delimiter is read up to the first space or end of line. For a quoted argument, the delimiter is read up to
the matching quote on the line.
