Functions and values

Function or value	Description
`ProcessUtils.findFile dirs tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.findFile dirs tool` Parameters: dirs : `seq<string>` - The directories list tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string`	Searches the given directories for the given file, failing if not found. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. dirs : `seq<string>` The directories list tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string`
`ProcessUtils.findFiles dirs tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.findFiles dirs tool` Parameters: dirs : `seq<string>` - The directories list tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `seq<string>`	Searches the given directories for all occurrences of the given file name, on windows PATHEXT is considered (and preferred when searching) dirs : `seq<string>` The directories list tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `seq<string>`
`ProcessUtils.findFilesOnPath tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.findFilesOnPath tool` Parameters: tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `seq<string>`	Searches the current directory and in PATH for the given file and returns the result ordered by precedence. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `seq<string>`
`ProcessUtils.findLocalTool envVar tool recursiveDirs` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.findLocalTool envVar tool recursiveDirs` Parameters: envVar : `string` - The environment variable name tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for recursiveDirs : `seq<string>` - The list of directories to use Returns: `string`	Like `tryFindLocalTool` but returns the `tool` string if nothing is found (will probably error later, but this function is OK to be used for fake default values. envVar : `string` The environment variable name tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for recursiveDirs : `seq<string>` The list of directories to use Returns: `string`
`ProcessUtils.findPath fallbackValue tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.findPath fallbackValue tool` Parameters: fallbackValue : `seq<string>` tool : `string` Returns: `string`	Tries to find the tool via Env-Var. If no path has the right tool we are trying the PATH system variable. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. fallbackValue : `seq<string>` tool : `string` Returns: `string`
`ProcessUtils.tryFindFile dirs tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.tryFindFile dirs tool` Parameters: dirs : `seq<string>` - The directories list tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`	Searches the given directories for all occurrences of the given file name. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. dirs : `seq<string>` The directories list tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`
`ProcessUtils.tryFindFileOnPath tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.tryFindFileOnPath tool` Parameters: tool : `string` Returns: `string option`	Searches the current directory and the directories within the PATH environment variable for the given file. If successful returns the full path to the file. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. tool : `string` Returns: `string option`
`ProcessUtils.tryFindLocalTool envVar tool recursiveDirs` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.tryFindLocalTool envVar tool recursiveDirs` Parameters: envVar : `string` - The environment variable name tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for recursiveDirs : `seq<string>` - The list of directories to use Returns: `string option`	Find a local tool in the given envar the given directories, the current directory or PATH (in this order) Recommended usage `tryFindLocalTool "TOOL" "tool" [ "." ]` envVar : `string` The environment variable name tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for recursiveDirs : `seq<string>` The list of directories to use Returns: `string option`
`ProcessUtils.tryFindPath additionalDirs tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.tryFindPath additionalDirs tool` Parameters: additionalDirs : `seq<string>` - The list of directories to consider in search tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`	Tries to find the tool via given directories. If no path has the right tool we are trying the current directory and the PATH system variable. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. additionalDirs : `seq<string>` The list of directories to consider in search tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`
`ProcessUtils.tryFindTool envVar tool` Full Usage: `ProcessUtils.tryFindTool envVar tool` Parameters: envVar : `string` - The environment variable name tool : `string` - The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`	Tries to find the tool via Env-Var. If no path has the right tool we are trying the PATH system variable. Considers PATHEXT on Windows. envVar : `string` The environment variable name tool : `string` The file name (tool) to search for Returns: `string option`
