forked from extern/nushell
44493dac51
# Description
Extends the `extern` syntax to allow commands that accept raw arguments.
This is mainly added to allow wrapper type scripts for external
commands.
This is an example on how this can be used:
```nushell
extern foo [...rest] {
print ($rest | str join ',' )
}
foo --bar baz -- -q -u -x
# => --bar,baz,--,-q,-u,-x
```
(It's only possible to accept a single ...varargs argument in the
signature)
# User-Facing Changes
No breaking changes, just extra possibilities.
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test for this new behaviour and ran the toolkit pr checker
# After Submitting
This is advanced functionality but it should be documented, I will open
a new PR on the book for that

Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
