# quoteMeta

[common]\
fun [quoteMeta](quoteMeta.md)(literal: [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)): [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)

Escape the metacharacters of [literal](quoteMeta.md) so the result matches it verbatim.
