Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Executable names and configuration examples consistently use Windows-style filenames (e.g., 'handler.exe') before mentioning Linux equivalents, and the primary deployment instructions assume Windows conventions. There are no explicit Linux or macOS command-line examples, nor is there guidance on compiling or running custom handlers on non-Windows platforms. The documentation also references Windows tools and patterns (such as .exe files) without providing parity for Linux (e.g., ELF binaries, shell scripts) or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux and macOS, including references to 'handler' (no .exe) and instructions for compiling and running on those platforms.
  • Explicitly mention platform differences in executable naming and permissions (e.g., .exe for Windows, no extension for Linux/macOS, chmod usage).
  • Include Linux/macOS deployment instructions, such as using bash/zsh and relevant package managers.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and environment notes for Linux/macOS users, including log file locations and permissions.
  • Ensure that all references to executables and commands are presented in a cross-platform manner, or provide side-by-side examples for each OS.
