This module implements a simple proc for opening URLs with the user's default browser.
Procs
proc openDefaultBrowser(url: string) {.raises: [Exception], tags: [ExecIOEffect, ReadEnvEffect].}
-
opens url with the user's default browser. This does not block.
Under Windows, ShellExecute is used. Under Mac OS X the open command is used. Under Unix, it is checked if gnome-open exists and used if it does. Next attempt is kde-open, then xdg-open. Otherwise the environment variable BROWSER is used to determine the default browser to use.
