Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools shows evidence of Windows bias. The reference to the tool as 'func.exe' in the description, the presence of options and examples specific to PowerShell, and references to Windows-only tools like the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator suggest a Windows-centric approach. Linux equivalents (such as Azurite for storage emulation) are not mentioned, and there are no explicit Linux or bash examples. Some features (like log streaming) are noted as unsupported for Linux in certain plans, but alternatives for Linux users are not detailed. The documentation generally assumes Windows as the default environment and omits Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
- Replace references to 'func.exe' with platform-neutral terms like 'func' or 'Azure Functions Core Tools executable'.
- Provide Linux/bash command examples alongside or before PowerShell/Windows examples.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-only tools (e.g., reference Azurite instead of or alongside the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator).
- Clarify cross-platform support for each feature, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds where features are Windows-only.
- Ensure documentation does not assume Windows as the default environment; explicitly state platform requirements and differences.
- Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, especially where setup or usage differs from Windows.
