Expand description
Emulates glob (wildcard) argument expansion on Windows. No-op on other platforms.
Unix shells expand command-line arguments like a*, file.??? and pass them expanded to applications.
On Windows cmd.exe doesn’t do that, so this crate emulates the expansion there.
Instead of std::env::args() use wild::args().
The glob syntax on Windows is limited to *, ?, and [a-z]/[!a-z] ranges.
Glob characters in quotes ("*") are not expanded.
Parsing of quoted arguments precisely follows Windows native syntax (CommandLineToArgvW, specifically)
with all its weirdness.
§Usage
Use wild::args() instead of std::env::args() (or wild::args_os() instead of std::env::args_os()).
If you use Clap, use .get_matches_from(wild::args_os()) instead of .get_matches().
Functions§
- Returns an iterator of glob-expanded command-line arguments. Equivalent of
std::env::args().
