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 [	-p prefix ] 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  environ-
       ment  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 en-
       vironment  variable  named  s if	one exists, without adding a new vari-
       able.

OPTIONS
       -p prefix
	      Prefix all environment variable names with prefix.

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.
