missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Java example where the ffmpeg path uses a Windows-style executable (ffmpeg.exe) and the guidance for setting the BASE_PATH is tailored to Azure's Linux file structure but does not mention Windows equivalents. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned as an upload option, but Linux-native tools (like rsync, scp, or standard shell commands) are not referenced. The Python examples are more Linux-oriented, but there is a lack of parity in providing explicit Linux/Unix examples or guidance for Java users, and the documentation does not provide equivalent Windows instructions for file mounting or path handling.
Recommendations:
- For Java examples, provide both Windows and Linux path examples for ffmpeg (e.g., ffmpeg.exe for Windows, ffmpeg for Linux) and clarify how to set BASE_PATH on both platforms.
- When referencing upload options for Azure Files, mention Linux-native tools (e.g., azcopy, scp, rsync) alongside PowerShell and Azure CLI.
- Explicitly state any platform-specific requirements or differences, such as file permissions (chmod) or path separators, for both Windows and Linux.
- Where possible, include both Windows and Linux code/configuration snippets, or clearly indicate which platform each snippet targets.
- Ensure that all steps (such as mounting file shares or setting environment variables) have instructions for both Windows and Linux development environments.
