FLASH footprint results but then also only simple environment
variables like $FOO can be used on the command line.
CONFIG_NSH_QUOTE enables back-slash quoting of certain characters within
the command. This option is useful for the case where an NSH script is
used to dynamically generate a new NSH script. In that case, commands
must be treated as simple text strings without interpretation of any
special characters. Special characters such as $, `, ", and others must
be retained intact as part of the test string. This option is currently
only available is CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT is also selected.

If selected, then the output from commands, from file applications, and
from NSH built-in commands can be used as arguments to other
commands. The entity to be executed is identified by enclosing the
command line in back quotes. For example,
set FOO `myprogram $BAR`
set FOO `myprogram $BAR`
Will execute the program named myprogram passing it the value of the
environment variable BAR. The value of the environment variable FOO
is then set output of myprogram on stdout. Because this feature commits
significant resources, it is disabled by default.

taken from CONFIG_LIBC_TMPDIR and it defaults to /tmp if

set FOO XYZ

set FOO XYZ

to ABC_XYZ_123. If NSH_ARGCAT is not selected, then a slightly small
