Argsposer

logo: l-pipe with magnifying glass

Args + exposer. This tool shows you exactly what was sent to it.

I needed to debug arguments and data passed/piped into a program. This is the easiest way to do that. It's just a C# program that dumps its arguments (with indices) and all data piped into it. Perfect for checking links with "Open With...", checking formatting of interprocess data (rename it to whatever target you like!), and countless other uses.

Build Notes

The only imports for the actual cs file are System and System.Threading, so there's no real reason this has to be a Windows Desktop project. Feel free to export it as a .NET Core application or whatever you feel is appropriate.

Example Usage

Direct Invocation

Great for inspecting the piped output of a program and checking how your shell passes command line arguments.
