Use this library to open a path or URL using the program configured on the system. It is equivalent to running one of the following:

```bash

# macOS

$ open 

# Windows

$ start 

# Linux

$ xdg-open  || gio open  || gnome-open  || kde-open  || wslview 

```

# Library Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml

```toml

[dependencies]

open = "5"

```

…and open something using…

```Rust

open::that("https://rust-lang.org");

```

…or, open something with an application of your choice

```Rust

open::with("https://rust-lang.org", "firefox");

```

Follow this link for the [API docs](https://docs.rs/open).

# Binary Usage

This crate also implements a binary that acts like an opener itself.

```shell

cargo run 'file to open'

```

# Credits

The implementation is based on the respective functionality of [Cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo), but was improved to allow some error handling.
