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.
