wsl-path-converter 0.3.1

Convert between Linux and Windows path in WSL

WSL path converter

Convert between Linux and Windows path in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Installation

Either install the latest stable version hosted on PyPI:

pip install wsl-path-converter

Or clone the source repository and install the bleeding-edge version:

git clone https://github.com/lamyj/wsl-path-converter.git
cd wsl-path-converter
pip install .

If the latter case is run by a regular user, i.e. non-root, the wpc executable will be installed in ~/.local/bin.

Usage

This converter works with Windows path mounted in WSL, either through /etc/fstab or through the mount command.

The executable is called wpc. To convert a Windows path to its Linux counterpart, run it with the -u option:

wpc -u C:\autoexec.bat

This is also valid using UNC paths (e.g. remote shares):

wpc -u \\samba.example.com\share

For the converse operation, i.e. convert a Linux path to its Windows counterpart, use the -w option:

wpc -w /mnt/c/autoexec.bat

If a path unambiguously belongs to either Windows or Linux, the conversion option can be skipped; all previous examples can be run without the option:

wpc C:\autoexec.bat
wpc \\samba.example.com\share
wpc /mnt/c/autoexec.bat
