################################################################################
#
# PS utility to add/remove PROCESS exceptions to/from MS WD real-time 
# scanning. Files (referenced by 'path' or 'path\filemask') are expected
# to be Windows process executables, for obvious reasons.
#
# The script requires Administrator privileges to succeed -> self-elevation procedure is involved
#
# Usage:
#
#   PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File tools_WD_excl.ps1 <ARGUMENTS>
#
# ARGUMENTS:
#   -AddExclPath <path | path\*.filemask>
#     add all matching files in the path (recursive) to the WD exception list
#
#   -AddExclFile <filepath>
#     adds file to the WD exception list exactly as specified by 'filepath'
#
#   -RmExclPath <path | path\*.filemask>
#     remove all matching files in the path (recursive) from WD exclusions
#
#   -RmExclFile <filepath>
#     adds file to the WD exception list exactly as specified by 'filepath'
#
#   -logFile <filepath>
#     stdout/stderr redirection file. Used internally for elevated process (generated in tempdir, deleted after the script finishing) 
#     use manually at your own risk
#
# Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure
#
#
# Example:
#   PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File tools_WD_excl.ps1 -AddExclPath "C:\Program Files\Espressif\ESP-IDF Tools\*.exe"
#
# Notes:
#      - default scenario is set to the following 
#     -AddExclPath "$Env:ProgramFiles\Espressif\ESP-IDF Tools\*.exe"
#     (eg when called with no params)
#    - only named parameters are supported, any other use-cases redirect to the default
#    - multiple paths/files in 1 parameter are not supported by this version
#    - minimum requirements: Windows XP SP3, PowerShell 2.0, Windows Defender with relevant PS cmdlets
