Summary | 0002857: CLI environment variable | ||||
Description | Slicer could set an environment variable when starting a CLI module. This environment variable could give the PATH of the executable. This would allow CLI modules to know where it is and in the case of an Extension to know where it is installed. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
We discussed this at project week with Bill and Jim - here's my summary: 1) The slicer install directory in the SLICER_HOME environment variable. This can get you to anything that ships with slicer. 2) But an executable extension may be installed somewhere outside the slicer tree. For this, you should look at argv[0] to find the path. 3) When and extension CLI is running as a shared library, it currently doesn't have useful information in argv[0] so there's no good way to find out. As a solution to point 3, we discussed adding the correct path info when the module entry point is invoked. |

I'm assigning this to Jim, since he seemed to indicate that he liked this solution. However it may be better to sign it over to Jc, since he was writing the shared library back end that would work with the new CTK CLI code. |
