Summary
The documentation page for 'sfctl chaos' shows evidence of Windows bias primarily in its use of Windows-specific terminology and references. The arguments for time ranges (--start-time-utc, --end-time-utc) are described as 'Windows file time', and the documentation links to .NET's DateTime.ToFileTimeUtc method, which is Windows/.NET-centric. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples, nor is there any mention of how to obtain or format these time values on non-Windows platforms. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux/macOS users in these critical areas.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions or examples for generating 'Windows file time' values on Linux/macOS (e.g., using Python, date commands, or other cross-platform tools).
- Add references or links to cross-platform methods for working with time formats required by the CLI.
- Clarify whether the CLI accepts standard Unix timestamps or ISO8601 formats, or provide conversion utilities/scripts.
- Avoid referencing Windows/.NET methods exclusively; include alternatives for other platforms.
- Explicitly state platform compatibility for all arguments and commands.
