+# no-unquoted-expansions
+
+Require quoting parameter expansions and command substitutions that are subject to word splitting.
+
+## Background
+
+When an expansion such as `$file` or `$(cmd)` is not quoted, the shell splits its value on whitespace and then expands any glob characters in the pieces. A file named `my report.txt` becomes two arguments, and a value containing `*` can turn into a list of unrelated files. Wrapping the expansion in double quotes (`"$file"`) passes the value through as a single argument.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule warns about unquoted parameter expansions (`$var`, `${var}`, `$@`, `$1`, and so on) and command substitutions (`$(...)` and backticks) in positions where word splitting happens:
+
+- a command's name and arguments, including arguments to `[ ... ]`;
+- the word list of a `for ... in` loop;
+- redirection targets, such as `> $file`, except when the `variant` language option is `"posix"`.
+
+The rule does not warn about:
+
+- expansions inside double quotes;
+- parameters that can't contain whitespace: `$?`, `$$`, `$!`, `$#`, `$-`, and length expansions such as `${#array[@]}`;
+- contexts where the shell doesn't split words: variable assignments (`x=$y`), `[[ ... ]]`, `case` subjects, arithmetic such as `$((...))`, and heredoc or herestring redirects (`<<`, `<<-`, `<<<`);
+- redirection targets when the `variant` language option is `"posix"`, because POSIX `sh` doesn't split them.
+
+This rule is autofixable when the expansion is the entire word: `$var` becomes `"$var"`. Words that mix an expansion with other text, such as `prefix$var`, are reported but not fixed.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```bash
+# eslint shell/no-unquoted-expansions: "error"
+
+rm $file
+
+cp $source $destination
+
+for f in $files; do echo "$f"; done
+
+echo $(ls)
+
+sort data.txt > $output
+
+$command --verbose
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```bash
+# eslint shell/no-unquoted-expansions: "error"
+
+rm "$file"
+
+cp "$source" "$destination"
+
+for f in "$@"; do echo "$f"; done
+
+echo "$(ls)"
+
+name=$other
+
+[[ $a == "$b" ]]
+
+echo $? $# ${#items[@]}
+
+echo $((count + 1))
+
+cat <<< $input
+```
+
+## Options
+
+This rule has no options.
+
+## When Not to Use It
+
+Occasionally word splitting is intended, such as passing a space-separated list of flags stored in a variable. Prefer an array (`"${flags[@]}"`) in that case; otherwise, use a disable comment for the specific line rather than disabling this rule.
