lib.rs:

This crate provides the [open] function, which opens a file or link with the default program configured on the system:

# fn main() -> Result<(), ::opener::OpenError> {
// open a website
opener::open("https://www.rust-lang.org")?;

// open a file
opener::open("../Cargo.toml")?;
# Ok(())
# }

An [open_browser] function is also provided, for when you intend on opening a file or link in a browser, specifically. This function works like the [open] function, but explicitly allows overriding the browser launched by setting the $BROWSER environment variable.
