Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

powershell_heavy

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation shows some Windows bias in the ordering and detail of examples. Windows prerequisites are listed before Linux, and the Windows section is more detailed (e.g., specifying Visual Studio and CMake installation options). The repository cloning example uses Windows command prompt syntax (git clone in a code block labeled 'cmd'), and there are no explicit Linux shell equivalents. Output folder locations are described for both OSes, but the Windows path is emphasized. There are no PowerShell-specific commands, but the overall structure and example ordering favor Windows users. Some Linux-specific details (like package manager alternatives for non-Ubuntu distros) are missing.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Provide equivalent Linux shell commands and examples wherever Windows commands are shown, including repository cloning and file path references.
- Expand Linux prerequisites to mention common distributions and alternatives to apt (e.g., yum, dnf, zypper).
- Ensure all code snippets and file path references are shown for both Windows and Linux, using appropriate syntax and conventions.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools and commands (e.g., generic git, cmake, make) and clarify any OS-specific steps.
- Add troubleshooting tips or notes for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, library paths) to match the detail given for Windows.

Flagged Code Snippets
In Linux, the binaries are in the _./build_ folder underneath the _mosquitto_ folder.
In Windows, the binaries are in the _.\build\Debug_ folder underneath the _mosquitto_ folder.
## Send telemetry
The *mosquitto_telemetry* sample shows how to send a device-to-cloud telemetry message to your IoT hub by using the MQTT library.
Before you run the sample application, run the following command to start the event monitor for your IoT hub. Be sure to use the name of your IoT hub:
