Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several areas. Executable examples and configuration consistently use 'handler.exe' as the default, with Linux/macOS alternatives mentioned only parenthetically or not at all. Deployment instructions reference Azure Functions Core Tools without clarifying cross-platform usage or providing Linux-specific guidance. There is a lack of explicit Linux shell or file permission examples, and Windows naming conventions are prioritized throughout. No Linux-specific troubleshooting, deployment, or file system examples are provided.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel examples using Linux/macOS conventions, such as 'handler' instead of 'handler.exe', and clarify when file extensions are required.
- Include explicit instructions for compiling and running custom handlers on Linux/macOS, including file permissions (e.g., 'chmod +x handler').
- Offer deployment guidance for Linux environments, including containerization and platform-specific dependencies.
- Add troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux, such as checking executable permissions and using Linux-native diagnostic tools.
- Ensure all code and configuration samples show both Windows and Linux/macOS variants side-by-side.
- Reference cross-platform tools and avoid Windows-centric terminology unless necessary, or provide equal coverage for Linux/macOS tools.
