Use this library to open a path or URL using the program configured on the system. It is equivalent to running one of the following:
# OSX $ open <path-or-url> # Windows $ start <path-or-url> # Linux $ open <path-or-url> || xdg-open <path-or-url> || gnome-open <path-or-url> || kde-open <path-or-url>
Add this to your Cargo.toml
[dependencies] open = "*"
Add this to your lib ...
extern crate open;
... and open something using
open::that("https://rust-lang.org");

The implementation is based on the respective functionality of cargo, but was improved to allow some error handling.
