WSL Path

You can use WSLPath to convert a WSL Path to a Windows Path and vice versa

---

Implementation

Calls wslpath which is a Linux based utility created by Microsoft to convert Windows and Linux paths.

We call wslpath, pass arguments, perform a conversion and return the results to the user

---

Converting Windows Path to WSL Path

fn main() {
	let path = wslpath::windows_to_wsl("C:\\Users").unwrap();
	println!("Windows Path converted to WSL is {}",path);
}

OUTPUT

Windows Path converted to WSL is /mnt/c/Users

---

Converting WSL Path to Windows Path

fn main() {
	let path = wslpath::wsl_to_windows("/mnt/c/Users").unwrap();
	println!("WSL Path converted to Windows is {}",path);
}

OUTPUT

WSL Path converted to Windows is C:/Users

---

Converting Windows Path to WSL Path with a specific distro

In this case we are using Ubuntu

fn main() {
    let path = wslpath::windows_to_wsl_with_distro("C:\\Users", "Ubuntu".to_string()).unwrap();
    println!("Windows Path converted to WSL is {}", path);
}

OUTPUT

Windows Path converted to WSL is /mnt/c/Users

---

Converting WSL Path to Windows Path with a specific distro

In this case we are using Ubuntu

fn main() {
    let path = wslpath::wsl_to_windows_with_distro("/mnt/c/Users", "Ubuntu".to_string()).unwrap();
    println!("WSL Path converted to Windows is {}", path);
}

OUTPUT

WSL Path converted to Windows is C:/Users
