NAME¶
pam_getenv - get environment variables from /etc/environment
SYNOPSIS¶
pam_getenv
[-l] [-s] env_var
DESCRIPTION¶
This tool will print out the value of
env_var from
/etc/environment. It will attempt to expand environment variable
references in the definition of
env_var but will fail if PAM items are
expanded.
The
-l option indicates the script should return an environment variable
related to default locale information.
The
-s option indicates that the script should return an system default
environment variable.
Currently neither the
-l or
-s options do anything. They are
included because future versions of Debian may have a separate repository for
the initial environment used by init scripts and for system locale
information. These options will allow this script to be a stable interface
even in that environment.
