Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (SMB) and Linux (NFS) examples for all major operations, using tabbed sections for parity. However, there is a consistent pattern of presenting Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory') and Windows shell quoting conventions before Linux equivalents. Notes and tips frequently reference Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe) specifically, and guidance for quoting arguments is Windows-centric. Windows path formats and terminology (e.g., backslashes, drive letters) are used as the primary example in syntax and explanations, with Linux paths as secondary. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and emphasis favor Windows.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/NFS examples are presented first in some sections.
- Provide a general note at the top explaining path and quoting differences across platforms, rather than repeating Windows-specific notes throughout.
- Use neutral, cross-platform path examples (e.g., <local-directory-path>) in syntax blocks and explanations, with both Windows and Linux formats shown in examples.
- Include explicit mention of macOS where relevant, especially in notes about platform support.
- Balance terminology and guidance so that Linux users do not feel secondary (e.g., avoid phrases like 'except for Windows Command Shell' and instead use 'on Windows, use double quotes; on Linux/macOS, use single quotes').
