envdir(8)                            System Manager's Manual                            envdir(8)



NAME
       envdir  - runs another program with environment modified according to files in a specified
       directory.

SYNOPSIS
       envdir d child

DESCRIPTION
       d is a single argument.  child consists of one or more arguments.

       envdir sets various environment variables as specified by files in the directory named  d.
       It then runs child.

       If d contains a file named s whose first line is t, envdir removes an environment variable
       named s if one exists, and then adds an environment variable named s with  value  t.   The
       name  s  must  not  contain =. Spaces and tabs at the end of t are removed. Nulls in t are
       changed to newlines in the environment variable.

       If the file s is completely empty (0 bytes long), envdir removes an  environment  variable
       named s if one exists, without adding a new variable.

EXIT CODES
       envdir  exits  111  if  it has trouble reading d, if it runs out of memory for environment
       variables, or if it cannot run child.  Otherwise its exit code is  the  same  as  that  of
       child.
