CliWrap is a .NET library for interacting with command-line interfaces, providing a fluent, immutable abstraction over System.Diagnostics.Process. It supports launching processes, piping stdin/stdout/stderr, asynchronous execution, and graceful cancellation.
Use cases
- run external commands from C# code
- pipe stdout and stderr between processes
- execute shell commands asynchronously with cancellation
- capture output of a CLI tool in .NET
- avoid deadlocks when redirecting process streams
- send input to a process's stdin programmatically
- wrap command-line tools in a .NET application
When to choose
- you're on .NET and need to spawn or script external processes
- you need robust piping, cancellation, and deadlock-free stream handling
- you want a fluent, immutable API instead of raw System.Diagnostics.Process
When to avoid
- you need to run shell scripts as a full shell environment rather than individual commands
- you're not on a .NET platform
- you need remote or containerized command execution
