S6-DUMPENV(1)

NAME
s6-dumpenv - store environment variables into a directory

SYNOPSIS
s6-dumpenv [-N | -n] [-m mode] dir

DESCRIPTION
s6-dumpenv creates the directory dir if it does not exist yet.

For every environment variable ‘x’ with value ‘y’ that it has, it creates a file dir/x containing ‘y’.

It then exits 0.

A program prog can be run with the environment in dir by using s6-envdir(1):
    s6-envdir -fn -- dir prog

OPTIONS

-N  Chomp. Write the environment variables with an extra newline at the end, so the environment can be retrieved via ‘s6-envdir -Lf dir’.

-n  Write the environment variables as is; the environment will be retrieved via ‘s6-envdir -Lfn dir’. This is the default.

-m mode
    Create dir with mode mode if it doesn't exist yet. Default is 0755.

EXIT STATUS

111 Temporary error.

100 Permanent error, such as a misuse.
