shimgen

shimgen builds tiny Windows shim executables that forward to a baked command.

Usage

shimgen -name OUT [-cwd inherit|target] <cmd> [cmdArgs...] [-- embeddedArgs...]

• <cmd> [cmdArgs...] are baked into the shim.
• -- embeddedArgs... are fixed args appended before runtime args.
• Path-like baked/embedded args are converted to absolute paths at build time.

-cwd modes

• inherit (default): the shim uses the caller's working directory.
• target: the shim sets its working directory to the baked entrypoint directory.
  • If <cmd> is path-like, its directory is used.
  • Otherwise, if the first baked arg is path-like, its directory is used.
  • If neither is path-like, the shim exits with an error.

Examples

shimgen -name mytool python ./scripts/main.py
shimgen -name mytool ./lua ./app/main.lua -- --no-color
