Closed mr-c closed 8 years ago

mr-c commented 8 years ago

To be added to the documentation:

Programs that want to discover the CWL description for a tool should look in the following locations:

/usr/share/cwl/ /usr/local/share/cwl/ $XDG_DATA_HOME/cwl/ (usually $HOME/.local/share)

$XDF_DATA_HOME is from the XDG Base Directory Specification

Use cases:

  1. Discovery of all installed tool descriptions.
  2. Discovery of the tool description for a specific binary
