# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

This is the first PR towards migrating to a new `$env.PWD` API that
returns potentially un-canonicalized paths. Refer to PR #12515 for
motivations.
## New API: `EngineState::cwd()`
The goal of the new API is to cover both parse-time and runtime use
case, and avoid unintentional misuse. It takes an `Option<Stack>` as
argument, which if supplied, will search for `$env.PWD` on the stack in
additional to the engine state. I think with this design, there's less
confusion over parse-time and runtime environments. If you have access
to a stack, just supply it; otherwise supply `None`.
## Deprecation of other PWD-related APIs
Other APIs are re-implemented using `EngineState::cwd()` and properly
documented. They're marked deprecated, but their behavior is unchanged.
Unused APIs are deleted, and code that accesses `$env.PWD` directly
without using an API is rewritten.
Deprecated APIs:
* `EngineState::current_work_dir()`
* `StateWorkingSet::get_cwd()`
* `env::current_dir()`
* `env::current_dir_str()`
* `env::current_dir_const()`
* `env::current_dir_str_const()`
Other changes:
* `EngineState::get_cwd()` (deleted)
* `StateWorkingSet::list_env()` (deleted)
* `repl::do_run_cmd()` (rewritten with `env::current_dir_str()`)
## `cd` and `pwd` now use logical paths by default
This pulls the changes from PR #12515. It's currently somewhat broken
because using non-canonicalized paths exposed a bug in our path
normalization logic (Issue #12602). Once that is fixed, this should
work.
## Future plans
This PR needs some tests. Which test helpers should I use, and where
should I put those tests?
I noticed that unquoted paths are expanded within `eval_filepath()` and
`eval_directory()` before they even reach the `cd` command. This means
every paths is expanded twice. Is this intended?
Once this PR lands, the plan is to review all usages of the deprecated
APIs and migrate them to `EngineState::cwd()`. In the meantime, these
usages are annotated with `#[allow(deprecated)]` to avoid breaking CI.

# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.
# Description
Cleanup search terms and help usage to be consistent and include
coreutils so people can easily find out which commands are coreutils.
or
```nushell
help commands | where usage =~ coreutils | reject params input_output
```

# Description
Replace `.to_string()` used in `GenericError` with `.into()` as
`.into()` seems more popular
Replace `Vec::new()` used in `GenericError` with `vec![]` as `vec![]`
seems more popular
(There are so, so many)
# Description
Convert these ShellError variants to named fields:
* CreateNotPossible
* MoveNotPossibleSingle
* DirectoryNotFoundCustom
* DirectoryNotFound
* NotADirectory
* OutOfMemoryError
* PermissionDeniedError
* IOErrorSpanned
* IOError
* IOInterrupted
Also place the `span` field of `DirectoryNotFound` last to match other
errors.

I've opened this a little prematurely to get some questions answered
before I cleanup the code.
As I started trying to better understand GNUs `mktemp` I've realized its
kind of peculiar and we might want to change its behavior to introduce
it to nushell.
#### quiet and dry run
Does it make sense to keep the `quiet` and `dry_run` flags? I don't
think so. The GNU documentation says this about the dry run flag "Using
the output of this command to create a new file is inherently unsafe, as
there is a window of time between generating the name and using it where
another process can create an object by the same name." So yeah why keep
it? As far as quiet goes, does it make sense to silence the errors in
nushell?
#### other confusing flags
According to the [gnu
docs](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/mktemp-invocation.html),
the `-t` flag is deprecated and the `-p`/ `--tempdir` are the same flag
with the only difference being `--tempdir` takes an optional path, Given
that, I've broken the `-p` away from `--tempdir`. Now there is one
switch `--tmpdir`/`-t` and one named param `--tmpdir-path`/`-p`.
GNU mktemp
```
-p DIR, --tmpdir[=DIR] interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not
specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With
this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name;
unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
mktemp creates only the final component
-t interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]
```
to
nushell mktemp
```
-p, --tmpdir-path <Filepath> # named param, must provide a path
-t, --tmpdir # a switch
```
Is this a terrible idea?
What should I do?
