Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for enabling auto forwarding in Azure Service Bus using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, ARM templates, and several programming languages. However, there is a notable Windows bias: PowerShell is given a dedicated section with full examples, and Windows-centric tools (PowerShell) are presented before cross-platform programming language SDKs. There is no mention of Bash scripting or Linux-native automation tools, and the PowerShell section appears before the programming language SDKs, which are cross-platform. The Azure CLI section is present and uses Unix-style line continuations, but there is no explicit mention of Linux or macOS environments, nor are there Bash or shell script examples.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for common automation scenarios, especially for updating or creating Service Bus resources.
- Clarify in the Azure CLI section that the commands are cross-platform and provide both Windows (using `^` for line continuation) and Linux/macOS (using `\`) variants if necessary.
- Consider adding a section or note on using Azure CLI and SDKs on Linux/macOS, including any prerequisites or differences.
- Reorder the sections so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, SDKs) are presented before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell), or at least clarify the cross-platform nature of each tool.
- If possible, mention or link to Linux-native automation options (such as Bash scripts or Ansible modules) for managing Azure Service Bus.

Flagged Code Snippets
## Using Azure PowerShell To **create a queue with auto forwarding enabled**, use the [`New-AzServiceBusQueue`](/powershell/module/az.servicebus/new-azservicebusqueue) command with `-ForwardTo` set to the name of queue or topic to which you want the messages to be forwarded.
To **update the auto forward setting for an existing queue**, use the [`Set-AzServiceBusQueue`](/powershell/module/az.servicebus/set-azservicebusqueue) command as shown in the following example.
