Enum Anchor 

pub enum Anchor {
    Free,
    RelativePlain,
    RelativeSensitive,
    RelativeUnplaced,
    ImplicitOutput,
    ImplicitSource,
    RunsFolderCode,
    NamesItsWrites,
}

How much one write depends on the folder the command runs in.

Variants

Free

The target is pinned without the folder: absolute, ~, a stream; or, declared on a command (writes_cwd = "none"), whatever it writes is somewhere fixed (pkill, rustup target add).

RelativePlain

A relative path that stays below the folder and names nothing sensitive.

RelativeSensitive

A relative path whose name means something wherever it lands: a hidden segment, a git hook, a credential file name, a region the table names under the workspace or under ~.

RelativeUnplaced

A relative path that climbs out of the folder, or whose spelling cannot be read ($VAR, a glob, a substitution).

ImplicitOutput

The tool writes, without naming a path, only into a subtree of the folder it owns and regenerates (cargo build → target/).

ImplicitSource

The tool rewrites existing files of its own kind of project in the folder (cargo fmt, git commit -am x).

RunsFolderCode

The command runs code the folder holds (cargo run, swift build).

NamesItsWrites

Declared on a command (writes_cwd = "named"): it writes only the paths it names, each judged by its own anchor value (touch, tee, sed -i). Not a decompressor, whose output name is derived from its input, nor a sync that brings the source’s names.
