Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools is generally cross-platform, but there are several areas where Windows-specific tools, behaviors, or issues are mentioned first or exclusively. Notably, the documentation references Windows tooling (such as func.exe), highlights Windows-specific build issues for Python, and includes PowerShell as a supported worker runtime with managed dependencies. Some options and notes are presented with a Windows-first perspective, and Windows terminology (e.g., 'command prompt') is used. However, Linux/macOS equivalents are usually implied or supported, and most commands are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
  • When referencing func.exe, clarify that func is available as a cross-platform CLI, not just a Windows executable.
  • Where Windows-specific issues are discussed (e.g., Python packaging), provide explicit Linux/macOS guidance or links to relevant troubleshooting.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric terminology like 'command prompt'; use 'terminal' or 'shell' instead.
  • When mentioning PowerShell managed dependencies, clarify if Bash/zsh equivalents exist or if this is truly Windows-only.
  • Ensure that any references to Docker, .NET SDK, or other tools include installation instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider providing example commands for both Windows and Linux/macOS where differences exist (e.g., path separators, environment variable syntax).
