wsl-path-converter 0.3.0

Convert between Linux and Windows path in WSL

# WSL path converter

Convert between Linux and Windows path in [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

## Installation

Either install the latest stable version hosted on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/):

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)#Uniform_Naming_Convention) paths (e.g. remote shares):

wpc -u \samba.example.comshare

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.comshare wpc /mnt/c/autoexec.bat
