That won't work because it contains white space. The external quotes are
removed when the option is read. As it says in the manual, the command
is FIRST split up into components, and THEN each component is expanded.
So you need internal quotes, and you need to arrange for each command
component (name, argument) is separately expandable. You can use single
quotes. Read how the pipe transport works; it's the same.

You could look up the command name, and individual arguments, but not
the whole command.
